I have a handgun that I sent to a dealer out-of-state on a trade.  Well the trade fell through and the gun is coming back.  It is being sent to my FFL dealer.  My question is how do we handle the transfer?  I have already secured the required permit to purchase when I originally bought the gun so it is mine.  But how does the dealer handle it on his books?  We are both at a loss on this.  Please advise.

Thanks.

I don't believe the you need a Recieving FFL is this transaction...The sending FFL should return it DIRECTLY to you.

FYI-you also didn't need him to send it to the buyers FFL.  You could have done that direct.

No need for an FFL on your side.  The need to an FFL on the "buyer's" side is to legally transfer the weapon to the buyer.  No buyer no need for an FFL on your side.  It's just a return to the legal owner.  This is the same if you sent a weapon to a gunsmith for work.
