I want to say first this is not a wtb thread, rather a procedural question.
I have not posted in some amount of time because of some health issues and a 3 year home search. I have kept up and write my elected reps on proposed legislation. Now that we have moved closer to family and medical resources (ucsf), I have time to get back into collecting and/or buying useful firearms.
I hope I have not delayed purchasing my dream gun, a blue 357 python nos, or slightly used. I know they have achieved premium status. When I talked to the (new to me) local gun shop the owner updated me that the only approved model is the .38 stainless for a new gun. To buy used it has to be from within state, "old" gun, nos, or consignment. Are private party sales through a ffl still allowed? If I locate an older model I want to by *someplace* can we complete a privaste party sale?
My question is two-fold, first to find out if it's do-able, and second to see if I should trust the dealer I talked with.
ANy elp or coments are welcome.
