Misc Moving to USA - Options on Handguns

We are moving to the USA and I have filed a atf form 6 to bring most of my firearms. They accepted most but two hand guns and the AR and one Winchester SXP of all things! What are my options I obviously don’t want to turn them in. Is there a way to sell those handguns in Canada before we go?

Certain ranges and stores can buy them.

Thank you for the response. I was trying to do some googling but I was coming up short. Do we have any resources or lists on where we can sell back to? Next option I guess I’ll call around. We have some time. Not going until early next year. What I was most surprised about was the ATF wouldn’t allow the SFP9 to come. Like they literally have their own version!

I think I saw Calgary shooting centre advertise that they’re buyers.

I assume it's an import/export restriction.

You may also want to see if your local gunsmith will take them as well.

Check out SFRC, they could put them in their auction for you. They still auction off handguns, for either exempt buyers or will deactivate them or strip them and keep the frame. Many still sell for a pretty penny too

Try any of the smaller shooting shops. They will often have used/consignment firearms.

Business firearms license holders can buy them, most won't ***
