[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Question about shipping a rifle out of state.

Posted: 9/21/2005 6:36:40 PM EDT

Does anyone know what I can and can't do when it comes to shipping a rifle I've sold to someone out of state? He's in Ar. Is that arkansas?

I don't have an ffl but it seems like I can send it thru the USPS to his ffl, which I will get via an ink signed copy, and use the online check at the atf ffl database?

Is that all there is to it?

I guess I could call the atf in the morning.

As long as his FFL will accept it from a non-ffl (some do some don't) you can ship USPS. Will need to declare it when you mail. They have you fill out a form that says something to the effect that the gun is a long arm, is unloaded, and is being shipped to an FFL.

Very simple, priority mail. FFL's need to be signed in blue ink. Very strait forward. Handguns are a different story.

FFL's can be faxed now.

Wow, that's news to me. Not followed up by a hard copy original before shipping? If so, sweet as that'll make my life easier...and future waiting times less
