Your parent can buy modern guns for you this way too. This includes handguns if you are over 18 years of age and have a valid HSC.
Two California residents, neither of whom is a California licensed dealer, can transfer a 50+ year old C&R long gun without going through an FFL, no paperwork or waiting period required. So if your mom found a private seller from California who was selling a 50 year old C&R long gun, she could buy it from them, cash and carry, and then give it to you.

Alright, thanks. I am legal (and turning 21) to own/purchase firearms. I get that this could spook dealers though. Thanks again for the info.
