Hey guys...can someone point me to a link at the ATF website, or somewhere else, that has the rules for transferring C&R rifles across state lines? The ATF web site is not user friendly IMO.
Thanks. Mike |

Say I got a buddy in the next state over and he really likes my C&R rifle...He is will to pay for it but not drive for it..lol
As far as I can tell, so far, he would have to have a FFL if I were to ship it to him...otherwise he could come to this state and I could sell it to him without problems...Is this a correct assumption? |

You cannot sell to someone in a different state.
You would have to ship it to an FFL in his state for transfer. Don't start selling a bunch of firearms because the C&R does not give you the right to deal in firearms only aquire. C&R licenses are not 'Dealers' licenses only for collecting. |

No. A collector's license only enables the collector to transport, ship, receive, and acquire curios and relics in interstate or foreign commerce, and to make disposition of curios and relics in interstate or foreign commerce, to any other licensee, for the period stated on the license. A collector's license does not authorize the collector to engage in a business required to be licensed under the Act. Therefore, if the acquisitions and dispositions of curios and relics by a collector bring the collector within the definition of a manufacturer, importer, or dealer, he shall qualify as such. A dealer's license must be obtained to engage in the business of dealing in any firearms, including curios or relics. [18 U.S.C. 922(a) and 923(a)(1), 27 CFR 178.41(c)(d)] What does "engaged in business" mean? The term "engaged in business," as applicable to a firearms dealer, is defined as a person who devotes time, attention, and labor to dealing in firearms as a regular course of trade or business with the principal objective of livelihood and profit through the repetitive purchase and resale of firearms, but such term shall not include a person who makes occasional sales, exchanges, or purchases of firearms for the enhancement of a personal collection or for a hobby, or who sells all or part of his personal collection of firearms. [27 CFR 178.11] |
