The law is Federal, yes you can send a firearm from yourself to an FFL in Virginia.

To whom are you shipping it? As a rule it is leagal for the owner of the rifle to ship it to a qualified receipient (ffl holder, manufacturer,etc). It is also possible to be an illegal act depending on who is on the receiving end. Need to be more specific.

that was what i thought, but when i received the FFL, they had instructions attatched to send a copy of my (non-existant, obviously) FFL with the rifle. should i just send the rifle anyways, and see what happens?

Some FFL's do not want to receive firearms from non-licensees. I would suggest you contact your buyer to get it figured out.

There are no laws preventing the owner from shipping a rifle to a FFL holder. Some FFL holders however, will not accept shipments from an non FFL.
