Here's a description of what my dad is looking at,he's not too sure about it and wanted me to try and find out. He just emailed the seller if there was a reason he wasn't shipping thru an FFL andhe wanted me to find out if theres anyone around here that has an FFL that will do this trasnaction for him:
"Up for your consideration is a Marlin 1895 Cowboy 45/70 lever action. 26" tapered octagon barrel. 9 shot tube mag. Uncheckered straight grip walnut stock and forearm. Crosslock safety. This gun is like brand new (99% +) Appears to have only been shot a handfull of times. The walnut stock on this one is exceptionally beautiful!!! No box. VERY IMPORTANT: I am not an FFL holder. Before you place a bid, make sure your dealer will accept shipment of a firearm from an individual accompanied by a bill of sale and a copy of my drivers license! I will "ONLY" ship from myself to your FFL dealer "NO EXCEPTIONS"! All sales are final! Payment and signed copy of your dealers FFL are due within 5 days of auctions end! I accept personal checks, certified bank checks, and USPS money orders. Due to past experience, all payments (with the exception of USPS money orders) will be held for a minimum of 10 business days prior to item(s) being shipped! Should you have additional questions, please feel free to contact me at your convenience. With that said, I wish you Good Luck and Happy Bidding!" |

Quoted:
A gun has to be shipped to an FFL if being shipped out of state. You can legally sell a firearm to another resident of your state and ship it to them so long as they meet the criteria for a legal fiream transaction. It can be shipped from an individual to an FFL but it is not required for a gun to be shipped by an FFL to another FFL.

I did not know that |

Q: May a nonlicensee ship a firearm through the U.S. Postal Service? A nonlicensee may not transfer a firearm to a non-licensed resident of another State. A nonlicensee may mail a shotgun or rifle to a resident of his or her own State or to a licensee in any State. The Postal Service recommends that long guns be sent by registered mail and that no marking of any kind which would indicate the nature of the contents be placed on the outside of any parcel containing firearms. Handguns are not mailable. A common or contract carrier must be used to ship a handgun. [18 U.S.C. 1715, 922(a)(3), 922(a)(5) and 922 (a)(2)(A)] Q: May a nonlicensee ship a firearm by common or contract carrier? A nonlicensee may ship a firearm by a common or contract carrier to a resident of his or her own State or to a licensee in any State. A common or contract carrier must be used to ship a handgun. In addition, Federal law requires that the carrier be notified that the shipment contains a firearm and prohibits common or contract carriers from requiring or causing any label to be placed on any package indicating that it contains a firearm. [18 U.S.C. 922(a)(2)(A), 922(a) (3), 922(a)(5) and 922(e), 27 CFR 478.31 and 478.30] Q: May a nonlicensee ship firearms interstate for his or her use in hunting or other lawful activity? Yes. A person may ship a firearm to himself or herself in care of another person in the State where he or she intends to hunt or engage in any other lawful activity. The package should be addressed to the owner. Persons other than the owner should not open the package and take possession of the firearm. Q: May a person who is relocating out of State move firearms with other household goods? Yes. A person who lawfully possesses a firearm may transport or ship the firearm interstate when changing his or her State of residence. Certain NFA firearms must have prior approval from the Bureau of ATF before they may be moved interstate. The person must notify the mover that firearms are being transported. He or she should also check State and local laws where relocating to ensure that movement of firearms into the new State does not violate any State law or local ordinance. [18 U.S.C. 922(a)(4) and 922(e), 27 CFR 478.28 and 478.31] Q: What constitutes residency in a State? The State of residence is the State in which an individual is present; the individual also must have an intention of making a home in that State. A member of the Armed Forces on active duty is a resident of the State in which his or her permanent duty station is located. If a member of the Armed Forces maintains a home in one State and the member’s permanent duty station is in a nearby State to which he or she commutes each day, then the member has two States of residence and may purchase a firearm in either the State where the duty station is located or the State where the home is maintained. An alien who is legally in the United States is considered to be a resident of a State only if the alien is residing in that State and has resided in that State continuously for a period of at least 90 days prior to the date of sale of the firearm. See also Item 5, “Sales to Aliens in the United States,” in the General Information section of this publication. [18 U.S.C. 921(b), 922(a) (3), and 922(b)(3), 27 CFR 478.11] Q: May a person (who is not an alien) who resides in one State and owns property in another State purchase a handgun in either State? If a person maintains a home in 2 States and resides in both States for certain periods of the year, he or she may, during the period of time the person actually resides in a particular State, purchase a handgun in that State. However, simply owning property in another State does not qualify the person to purchase a handgun in that State. [27 CFR 478.11] |
