Quick ? on rifle selling

[rgs1975]

To sell a rifle from one private party to another is there anything the seller needs to do to keep within CA regulations?

Does it have to go through a FFL?

[professionalcoyotehunter]

Depends on how old it is. C&R is 50 years and older for rifles and shotguns. Handguns always have to be Dros'd and PPT.

It's a modern bolt action, centerfire rifle with no "evil features".

What year is it? If is is not 50 years or older you must go through a FFL.

Unless it is a rifle or shotgun more than 50 year old it will most likely need to go through an FFL.

The most common sale will take place at your local FFL and is known as a Private Party Transfer or PPT.

Someone will need to pay the $35($25 to the state and $10 to the dealer) transfer fee. It is usually the buyer, but it is up to the seller if they voulenteer to pay. This is the maximum legal fee if picked up on the tenth day. (Ten days after DROS is started).

*PPT's require both the buyer and the seller to be physically present at a local FFL. This is how you must do it if you want to impose the $35 limit.

You can alsp ship your rifle to another FFL if your buyer is in a location that is too far to meet in person. There is no legal limit for this kind of transfer and the recieving FFL may charge any amount they would like. Usually between $35-100 plus DROS.

Ok so it's the same as with handguns. Thanks folks.

No from my understanding handguns must all be through an FFL unless 100 years or older.

Don't forget the Black Powder's.

There is no such thing as a "100 years or older" exemption. You are probably thinking of the pre-1899 "antique" exemption.

This is very helpful.
