May have already been answered elsewhere, but -

I'd like to ship a rifle (.22lr and not any of that tacticool or black stuff) I own to my brother who lives in another state. Not a sale or anything like that, I just need him to do some work on it for me.

Question - can I ship it directly to him? My door to his? Or, do I need to get an FFL involved?

Thanks all -

Papa

I know you can ship it to repair centers without an FFL. Personally I don't see the difference. But, I've been wrong before.

this is a question for Doug. i know you cant ship side arms, not sure about long runs.

I'm pretty sure that you will need an FFL involved if he does not have one of his own as a gunsmith.

You may ship your own firearm to an in-state or out-of-state gunsmith. To do this, the gunsmith *MUST* hold an FFL license (and not just a C&R). It can't be someone that just 'works on guns' - that'd get you in trouble.

To be legal you need to send it to an FFL in his state. The FFL will do a NICS check on him and then deliver the rifle.

How about gun parts??? If you had a little bit of trigger work you wanted done or if say the firing pin needing replacing, where does the law stand about shipping a bolt or trigger group. That may be a option for the OP to just ship the part needing work done to it.

On a side note did anyone scroll all the way through those ATF rules and see about how you can register your potato gun. I mean C'mon man who register a potato gun.

If I'm not mistaken you can ship anything that's not serialized without involving a FFL as long as the item being shipped is not prohibited by local law in the location that it's being received.

 

[Doug Bowser]

You can ship anything but the receiver. There has to be an FFL in the process.
