hi,
I'm thinking of giving my 16 y/o nephew a Mosin-Nagant 91/30, (well, it'll be going to his mother, my sister)
Obviously its not an "assault weapon",but it is a centerfire military rifle.
Anyone KNOW what steps to take?
I've heard
1 Cant be done, no more firearms imported.
2 Find a OKLA.FFL that has signed up (?) to ship to a Ca. FFL.(No one around here's up for that)
3 Just contact a Ca. FFL and ship it to him.
4 Other?
There's lots of mystery and mis-information about the ins and outs of Ca. laws.
Assume the recipient can pass a 4473 and whatever else is necessary.
Any help?
thanks
Oh, if it matters, it would be going to San Diego.

Ship to CA FFL.

CA FFL transfers to sister.

Done.

Yup.

Now, some CA FFLs may - as personal store policy - not want to receive guns from non-FFLs regardless if it's legal.

Others will, so it varies.  Some may well require a photocopy and fax of the seller's drivers license/ID just for protective
recordkeeping purposes (stolen gun drama etc.)
