[QUOTE="Coyote Shadow Tracker, post: 2310625, member: 116439"] Hey Muddyboots I am trying to think why you would bring up this subject on "Product Liability" for selling one of you firearms. I have worked for International & National Insurance companies in a upper management positions in their "Loss Control Risk Improvement" divisions. If there was some reason for a Product Liability Suit due to an issue with a firearm the parties filing suit would not look at a private seller of a firearm. They would be looking at the manufacture. If there was a firearm involved for the suit they would look at everyone that "Touched" the firearm including every part bought and installed. At this time there are laws in place that prevent Firearms manufactures from being "Sued" this mostly pertains to "Criminal Activities", but there has been multi million $ suits in the past. One to bring up was Remington and the "Safety" on model 700. I don't want to get into a thousand page dissertation, but a private seller - selling to another private person is not going to gain any attention for a private person to be sued due to a "Product Liability" of a firearm. One the thoughts mentioned of "Piece/Parting" out the rifle/firearm out. You will have the same liability as the "Whole" firearm. Selling parts that you have puts you in the "Chain of Command" on handling the items. If you are a manufacture you have the Product Labiality coverage. If you are a Retailer you most likely covered by the manufacture. If you are a Gunsmith and registered as a LLC (Limited Lability Company) means that the owners cannot be "Personally" held responsible. Your business may be finically responsible, but not you. This would most likely come into GROSS Negligence cases. Attorneys only want to take cases where there are DEEP pockets like manufactures. They are not going to waste their time trying to put suit on a induvial. So Hunters/Shooters do not worry about selling you firearm and "Product Liability" on this forum or any other forum or to one of your friends. [/QUOTE]
