I live in Virginia and have found a buyer for my Pre-ban Colt SP1 in New York. I will be visiting my parents in Pennsylvania over the 4th of July weekend and the buyer is interested in driving down and completing a private sale. I have not bought or sold any AR's in a few years and wanted to be sure that this transaction would not be breaking any laws that I am not aware of.
Please provide comments.
thanks,
Don.

Not a lawyer, etc.  You can't make this sale legally unless you ship to an FFL delaer in NY.

See ATF site

AFAIK, sales/transactions can only take place between residents of contiguous states. if not,
a FFL has to handle the sale.

Thanks for the info, now....

Can I ship the AR to his FFL myself, or do I need a FFL in VA to ship it to his FFL?

what fun :-)

Some FFLs do not believe that an individual can ship a rifle to an FFL.

The ATF faq is good source for info.

Not true.  It has to be the [b]same[/b] state.

NYS allows the transfer of long guns in contiguous states.  Find a PA FFL to complete the transaction in person to the NYS resident.  Otherwise you'll have to ship the rifle to a FFL in NYS.  Federal law only allows for the private transfer of firearms between residents of the same state.

Long guns can be shipped to NY FFL's from a person but the NYSP are of the opinion that handguns can only be shipped FFL to FFL in NY.
