Shipping firearm out of state

Recommended Posts

Looking back at previous posts I’m still unsure of what’s allowed. If Im selling a firearm to someone from another state, do i need to go through a FFL to send that firearm to their FFL? Or can I ship it myself? 

Depends upon the receiving dealer's policy. Ask them. Not unlawful to send it yourself. BUT, it may cost you more.

^^^This...you can usually ship to another ffl via your DL...  *but*, you need to see what your shipping and how....carries have differing policies...I find it easier to use my local 01ffl to ship....

I was at a range/ffl today and asked the person doing my transfer about shipping handguns legally out of state. He told me it was illegal for a non-licensee to ship a handgun period. 
 

truthfully, I just prefer shipping anything serialized through ffl to save myself headache and stress.

Not sure about that, but I agree with your sentiment timwnt and have been doing it that way for most of the last 15years...easy peasy...as long as your ffl doesn't charge you a vig to do so.

It's not illegal

 

You can ship a rifle/ shotgun through the USPS:

A handgun may be shipped with UPS if you follow their rules (expensive)

Fedex only accepts shipments from FFL.

    • Boom! Today all Newton is in the high $3.60s. All hail Bidenomics! And all that Alaska land he just took off the list of oil prospects.
    • I have a like new (only zeroed) PSA Sabre KAC M110 Clone in 7.62x51mm. This is PSA's clone version of the infamous Knights Armament M110. Very high quality, excellent 2 stage trigger, 20" chrome lined barrel, adjustable gas block, and is NJ legal with a pinned Surefire SOCOM muzzle brake.  Radian Raptor charging handle and Radian ambi safety. Upper and lower are billet receivers compatible with all KAC SR-25 and LMT MWS/MARS-H pattern receivers.  Im no where close to being a long range shooter but ive been able to get 0.7 MOA out of it with 175gr federal gold medal match ammo and Im sure the rifle is capable of much better accuracy. Asking $1650 (which is a steal for what you get) at any FFL thats a reasonable distance from Jersey City. I can also ship but that would be on your dime.  Optic/bipod etc not included but can be purchased if interested. Vortex Razor Gen-II HD 3-18x50 FFP with the new EBR-7C MRAD illuminated reticle in a 1.54 reptilia mount. Id include the optic for another $1700. Happy to answer any questions or provide more pictures. Not interested in any trades. Thank you.
