Colt gold cup -- 1980's manufacture owner died

 

Is it legal for widow to sell this gun face to face or must it go thru a FFL?

 

Thanks for any insite

 

 

Everything can be transferred face to face.

 

Sent from an undisclosed location.

 

 

What about the FID# of the seller?

Leave it blank

I purchased my first Colt from a family friend's widow. In NJ , the surviving spouse owns the estate. Including the firearms. Unless the departed specifically listed that gun to be willed to someone else it is automatically hers. Then it becomes no different than any other private face to face sale , unless she is a prohibited person she is supposed to turn them in ( I am not sure if this is to the authorities or to an FFL) and then has 180 days to sell them. 

You would bring the P2Ps to her same as you would with any private sale. Copies go where the copies are suppose to go , end of transaction.

Nice find. Not that you probably need any reminding , but try to be sensitive . Compliment her husband's firearm , express your condolences. My friend"s widow could not bear to sell anything of his for years. The firearms collection meant a lot to him and the fact that they were going to be cared for and appreciated gave her a small bit of comfort.

Thank you for the fast replies

 

Unfortunately its not my find -- a very new gun owner found it -- only his second handgun purchase

 

I tried telling him it was a piece of junk but he's still going to buy it -- been waiting on permits

 

I was asked the transfer question today but didn't know the answer -- knew I could ask here

 

thanks again, Jer

Ah , too bad. Is it in bad condition or something?

no its barely fired -- typed jokes always suck

 

I'd love to own it...

Good price?

Oh right , I get it now lol

Good price?

 $700 -- a steal

The poor widow probably has no idea what it's worth... I feel bad for her

Mfer. Why can't I find these
