I'd like to buy a stripped lower receiver and it will most likely come in from out of state. I'm in Conn. I know it needs to go to an FFL. What do I do? Contact the FFL (dealer) obviously. Does he need to forward any paperwork to the seller? Sorry for the amature question but could you walk me through a typical transfer? |

Typically, visit FFL dealer, make a deal up-front on the cost for your transaction (this can vary widely in cost and is depended on the dealer $15-$50 or more for expensive firearms), have dealer fax a copy of his license to person or company which your ordering the lower from. They then ship to your FFL dealer (who places lower in his books) he calls says it's in, you go pay for transaction, pass NICS, fill out 4473 form and take posession of lower (dealer transfers ownership from his books to you).

Quoted: He would not allow me to buy the gun in person and insisted i use an FFL. It was as if he did not want me to see the gun before i paid for it. Or, more likely, the constant wailing from the media has made him uncomfortable knowing his gun is going to someone without official government approval (i.e., NICS check). -Troy |
