    Default Private Ammo Sale

    When selling ammo privately, does a seller have any requirement to check ID so that buyer is 18 to buy rifle ammo and/or 21 to buy pistol ammo?

    The crazy things that pop up in my head.

    Piggybacking - or to verify they are in state? I ask because i was at the range and they told a nj resident, they couldn't sell them ammo without their card.

    18 Pa CSA § 6302. Sale or lease of weapons and explosives.

    (a) Offense defined.--A person is guilty of a misdemeanor of the first degree if he sells or causes to be sold or leases to any person under 18 years of age any deadly weapon, cartridge, gunpowder, or other similar dangerous explosive substance.


    (b) Exception.--The provisions of subsection (a) shall not prohibit hunting by minors under 18 years of age permitted under Title 34 (relating to game).

    (July 8, 1986, P.L.442, No.93, eff. July 1, 1987)



    Cross References. Section 6302 is referred to in section 6105 of this title.
    For transactions occurring in PA:
    In general must be 18+. Not aware of any non-resident issue. I believe the 21+ for handgun ammo only applies to FFLs.

    A lot of NJ and NY people come up here to buy ammo. I think the shops here restock on Sunday afternoons to give the locals first dibs...

    I'm new here and only joined this to sell some 6.5 grendel rounds. I have two 200 round hornady bthp packs. im making room in my basement and need a new plumbing system. Otherwise I would never do such a thing. Everywhere that I have searched online is out and I do not see it coming back in stock soon. What is a conservative number without me giving the ammo away? I appreciate the feedback.

    So Im not that computer illiterate. That is one of my fav sites.... I want to sell 2 of the cases. They are still factory sealed. I need money to put in new plumbing in my basement. I am a disabled Vet that lives on disability and it is miserable. So, I'm trying to sell the 2 cans of 200rds so I can have some cheddar for the new plumbing.

    So, it looks like they were about $1.00 a round pre-panic. Now in the neighborhood of $1.60-$1.75 a round.

    Somewhere in between maybe? Depends on how fast you want to sell them I guess. Start at the high end. You can always go down.
