Better put, is shipping the Mauser through an FFL necessary as it is considered a C&R AND is a long gun. Do I need to ship this to an FFL or can I ship it directly to the buyer? Does it matter that I would check that states laws or would it be Federal which I am doubting but just trying to get info on.

Can I not ship a K98 Mauser to Il. directly without and FFL assitance? From seller to buyer is what I am asking. Other than a Driver's License, what might I need or want to get for the sale. It was sold through an online auction site.
thx

Any person can ship a firearm in the US - there is no requirement to be an FFL to ship a firearm.

"Directly" is something you need to expand upon. Is the buyer an FFL?

Drivers licenses are not required to ship firearms. Prior to being an FFL when I sent a gun, I had a note with the buyer's info inside.

Across state lines involves federal regulations. Shipping your C&R rifle to a buyer in another state must be shipped to an FFL licensee. If your buyer has a C&R FFL you can ship straight to him. If not, it must be shipped to an 01FFL of the buyers choosing.
It is legal for a non-licensee to ship the rifle to the buyers FFL.

Thanks for the heads up on this. I called DOJ here and left the message for a call back and still have not gotten one. Even with another call generated.

Good luck with that. It is doubtful they will call back.

As previously stated, if the firearm is crossing state lines, it has to go through an FFL.

Any more questions?

Nope, no more q's and thank you for the clarification on this. I was not sure about it crossing the state line legalities..
