antique firearms through ffl?

[mnichols]

I've searched and read for hours... I'm finding a lot of conflicting info.

Does a pre-1899 handgun have to go through dros?

I don't have an 03 or COE.

It would be face to face in california.

Thanks in advance

Unless you are buying it from a dealer who logs ALL firearms that come in the door, regardless of when the receiver was made. One of my favorite "honey holes" does it this way, so if I buy an antique there I am forced to DROS it so they can get it off their books.

Looking at an H&R break top in 38 s&w.

Seller isn't responding, so it's not looking promising.

I'll keep an eye out for another.
