I have a couple of non-working firearms I'd like to sell. Neither is safe to shoot as is. Gunsmiths tell me they may be fixable for not a lot of $. Potential buyers are asking that I not allow my gunsmiths to work on these as they have their own they'd rather use. So how do I protect myself re. liability on these two? I'd sure hate for them to get out there, not be properly repaired, later injure or kill someone & then have the lawyers sending me unfriendly letters. Any suggestions or experience? Thank you.

I am not a lawyer so I cant say specifically but drafting a bill of sale that specifically states that and is signed by both parties and a possibly a witness would help. People could sue over anything, even a funtioning firearm so you can only do so much.
