Wheres the best place to Use my C&R for an SKS?

Another two year bump!

Probably a dumb question, but can people do PPT of SKS rifles within and/or between states without a FFL or without a C&R licesne as it is a curio/relic at this point in 2010? I guess a 2 part question: Can two private parties buy/sell a SKS to each other without any paperwork? Can those parties be in different states- one in California and say one in Nevada if the SKS is original with no mods, and not have to go through any FFL. Does the seller have to have a C&R license?

Any time residents of two different States want to transfer a firearm between them the transfer has to go though an FFL. This is Federal law, so it doesn't matter how free the particular States' laws are. For instance, if you were a resident of Nevada and your father was a resident of Arizona and he wanted to give you a firearm as a gift, the transfer would have to be processed through an FFL.

In most States, if two residents of that same State want to transfer a firearm between them, no FFL is required. However, in California the law requires most firearms transfers to go through a "California licensed dealer". One exception to California's dealer transfer requirement is for C&R long guns that are at least 50 years old. So if you wanted to buy a 50+ year old SKS from another Californian you could do it without an FFL getting involved.

Thanks- I kinda figured it out with the search function and reading other posts. Thanks for taking the time to answer the question

You know he asked that question 4 years ago, right?

Just checking.

Oh, aimsurplus.com in case he's STILL looking.

If he saved $10 a month since then, he can afford a nice Russian by now.
