Hey folks, I can't find any good info on this question online or in the lawbooks and I figured you guys seem to be the experts. I'm an FFL03 in Washington state, and I'm interested in buying a Schmidt Rubin rifle from a buddy in New Jersey. My buddy wants to use an FFL01 on his end to ship it out, and they say they can only ship to another FFL01 on my end.
I can't find any state law that's relevant to exactly this edge case, so am I forced to deal with FFL fees? WA/Federal law is fine with me receiving a C&R at my door, would NJ be fine with that?
Legal citation is, of course, useful. Thanks all!
