I bought a gun on gunbroker from an advertised NJ FFL dealer. I assumed (stupid) that I could pickup the gun at the dealers location. This is not the case in this particular instance. I have to have this gun transferred to another NJ FFL. Basically, the seller does not do NICS checks. Why is not really important...

 

If you are trolling the auction sites for guns in NJ and 'assume' that you can do a local pickup - learn from my mistake and check with the seller first.

....or just take the beating and buy it from a local store to begin with.

It was in Fairfield - I assumed it was a local 'store' - probably a little guy just starting out. Assume = Ass U Me :oops:

no you only made a butt out of yourself!! haha couldn't resist sorry danno

why wont he do a FTF transfer. He does not need to do a NICS, you both fill out the NJ Cert of Elig. (http://www.state.nj.us/njsp/info/pdf/fi ... sp-634.pdf) for a longgun or you prob have a permit for a handgun, he fills that in and away you go.

 

Or is there a law that FFL holders can not do FTF with documentation.

Is there really?

 

I thought it was a federal law. I know a guy who bought a gun from an FFL's private collection, and he still had to do the paperwork and NICS check.

Actually you're probably correct - it is probably a federal law...

Thanks for the info, I hve looked to buy from a legal ffl a few ties, now I know I need to ask a few questions.

n.j nics ck. are done by nj state police , most other states go through batf in west virginia - only nj licensed dealers can perform the check - makes me wonder about the legality of his ffl in this state -

Oh he's legit! I had a well known local expert confirm it.

off topic but I'm nosy, what did you buy?

Marlin 336 30-30 with a 3-9 scope. Why? I don't know... I can't deer hunt in NJ with it.

I want one of those

What can I say, I wanted a lever gun...

Nice choice - if I eventually get a lever gun, that's gonna be the one I get.

 

If you don't mind, what account name does he use on gunbroker so we can avoid making the same mistake?

I don't want to slander the guy all over the internet, he could have been a real (cough) RICHARD, but we were able to come to a mutual agreement. PM sent.

I know of dealers in other states (not NJ) who only do internet sales to other dealers and don't have or need sales tax certificates from the state and NICs accounts. This would be all legal but they have to send the gun to a FFL as they do not collect sales tax or do NICS.

 

I really don't know if it is possible to do this in NJ.

Very nice. I love shooting my Winchester94 30-30. The only problem is its a top eject and not fun when a round finds its way inside my shirt.

eye relief ?

The ONLY rifle allowed in NJ for deer hunting is a muzzleloader

Man that's a gorgeous rifle. Take comfort in the fact that when the Zombie Apocalypse comes you'll be ready.

I was about to to call you a liar... But then I looked it up. Do people actually do that?
