Out of State Purchase Shipping into CA FFL Question

[tonelar]

My search-Fu is poor and all I get was interfamilial transfer info. So please excuse if this has already been addressed here;

So, I want to buy a pair of single action revolvers from an out of state cowboy shooter (non-ffl/ private individual).
If my ffl accepts firearms from non-ffls, does the seller have to get the CA DOJ paperwork printed out to send wit the pistols, or is it only required of out of state ffl holders?

its required by everyone and also make sure those revolvers are on the list or you cant dros them

If your FFL dealer will take a shipment by a non-licensed person (the seller), then all that's required is the seller sending a copy of his DL/ID with the firearms.
Seller's DL/ID is required for your FFL dealer's bound book.

its required by everyone and also make sure those revolvers are on the list or you cant dros them

Incorrect.

Only out-of-state FFL dealers need to get the CFLC letter. [PC 12072(f)(1)(A)]
Out-of-state non-licensed persons are exempt from the CFLC requirement. Out-of-state Type 03-FFL and 06-FFL are also exempt.

Make sure the single-action revolvers meet the length requirements in order to be exempt from the approved list. [PC 12133(a)]

I recently did a similar transfer.

My FFL mailed some forms to the seller that had to be included with the firearm. Alternately, they could have faxed these forms over.

(I don't know what these documents were.)

Best FUD I have heard yet. Know what your talking about before you post.

Single action revolvers are exempt from the list. Private sellers (non ffl) are exempt from the Ca. approval BS.

Thanks so much everyone. Especially Quiet for pasting up the code for me.
Calgunners PWN!

Walter, It's required of FFLs as opposed to individuals. Also, the pistols are single action, longer than the minimum length, hold 6 rounds AND have 5" barrels (exempt from the BS safety list).

Given the SA exemption and that the guns are being sent by an individual so no CFLC is needed, just ensure you, your FFL and the sender are 100% on the same page regarding what your FFL may require for ID. Generally the FFL will require a DL, sometimes they don't. Make sure everyone knows what's needed.
