Thanks. If I sold it on gunbroker can I just ship it to an FFL from the post office? That the best way to move it? La Sportsman may be easier if I could just drive to meet someone. Are there any other legit options?

You need to check into laws in other states that you might ship it to. Most states require an FFL to FFL transfer which means you can drop your gun off at an FFL of your choice and they will take care of the shipping. Should cost around $25. Some states will allow you to ship with UPS or Fedex but you have to send a photocopy of your drivers license with it.

If you sell to an out-of-state buyer, you'll be shipping the gun to a licensed (FFL) dealer in his area. You'll probably have to ship it via FedEx - and they may make you ship it "overnight." (UPS has gotten really restrictive on shipping firearms - your local UPS store may not accept it).
The FFL who receives the gun will run a background check on the buyer (the buyer pays the fee for this) -- this protects you from selling it to a felon, or anyone else who is prohibited from buying a firearm.
You need to contact the local dealer and get a copy of his FFL before you ship the gun -- this is to make sure the place you're sending it to is really a licensed dealer.
