Private Party Guns Sales How is it done?

[WhiteSands]

I am selling an M1 and need to know the best ways to sell to a private party.

I want to sell a gun to another person, i.e., a private party transfer. Am I required to conduct the transaction through a licensed California firearms dealer?

Yes. Firearm sales must be conducted through a fully licensed California firearms dealer. Failure to do so is a violation of California law. The buyer (and seller, in the event that the; buyer is denied), must meet the normal firearm purchase and delivery requirements. "Antique firearms," as defined in Section 921(a)(16) of Title 18 of the United States Code, and curio or relic rifles/shotguns, defined in Section 178.11 of Title 27 of the Code of Federal Regulations that are over 50 years old, are exempt from this requirement.

Firearms dealers are required to process private party transfers upon request. Firearms dealers may charge a fee not to exceed $10 per firearm for conducting a private party transfer.

Conditions:
1. The rifle(or its receiver), not handgun, is over 50yrs old.
2. The buyer has a FFL-01 or FFL-03 (C&R) license. Buyer sends a copy of license to you.

If both conditions are true, then it's direct payment and shipping between buyer/seller.

If the rifle is younger than 50yrs, or the buyer does not have any FFL, the seller has to go through a FFL-01 dealer for the transaction.

1. It's a long gun at least 50 years old.

2. Neither buyer nor seller need licenses. Check the law.

Less than 50 years old, buyer needs an -01 ffl or needs to transfer the gun through the ffl.

I apologize, I do not mean to hijack the thread. If Nevada considers private sales cash and carry, can two cali guys cross the border and transfer a long gun, then the buyer can legally bring it back as his?
Not gonna do it, just wondering.

Yeah..Face-to-face, no license is required for >50yr long-gun.
But how about long-distance shipping?

Go to Big 5 and do the transfer for $35 buck. If the long gun is not atleast 50 years old, to transfer to another California resident you must do it through a FFL in California. Big 5 cannot turn you down for the private party transfer and cannot charge you more than $35. Same goes to any shop. Big 5 doesn't have to do PPT transfers for hand guns if they don't want to if they don't sell handguns.

No. You're both residents of California and need to complete the transaction in California. Going out of state to do it like that would be illegal.

1) If both parties are residents of the same state and the firearm isn't crossing state lines then the Feds don't care how far you ship it for the transfer.

2) The California exemption to Dealer transfers for long guns over 50 years old makes no mention of the transfer having to be face to face.
