I know some say there's no such thing. How to sell safely without getting into some legal hot water? I can hear it now, "He had the gun, but YOU had the bullets", in a lawsuit after everything I own. Get something signed at sale? ID? Sell to a gun shop? It's older surplus, had it inside for about 3 years.

There shouldn't be a problem with selling ammo. Used to be, you had to check an I.D. and keep records on who bought it, but that changed back in '86 (one of the few good things to come out of the FOPA that year).
Anyway, you could sell it through a gunshop or simply put an ad in the paper if you want. Even if some ambitious shyster got the bright idea of trying to sue you, how are they going to know where it came from if you sell it that way?
Yes, I fall under the "no such thing" category, but if you're interested in selling, PM me with the details and I could take it off your hands if it's a caliber I can use. Shipping can be a pain, though, since you can't just put it in the U.S. mail.
P.S. An exception to the rule of having no legal entanglements for selling ammo is a few banned types, such as steel-core pistol ammo (i.e. "armor piercing). Steel-core 7.62x39 falls into this category (because some SOB made a prototype AK "pistol" once), but for some reason, steel-core 5.56x45 doesn't.
