I've been looking at a couple of C&R rifles lately, and I'm trying to find an alternative to my regular (regularly unreliable and overcharing) FFL. I PM'ed a couple of THR people in my area, asking if they had a C&R FFL or knew anyone who did. One responded by saying:
So, the question is: Can a C&R FFL receive a qualified rifle and transfer it to a non-FFL (with the required paperwork, of course)? Is it different in different states, or would federal law govern? Would it make any difference if the buyer were to send payment directly to the distributor rather than buying the gun from the C&R FFL (i.e., the C&R FFL acts only as the transferor, not a retailer)?
I am pretty sure that I can only deal with other C&R holders or 01 FFL holders. I can't order C&R guns for you and then sell them to you. According to the BATF the main purpose of my license is for collecting and it is not to be used to conduct a business. Even if I ordered guns for you, I would still have to fill out the same paperwork a regular FFL does, you would still have to wait ten days... Honestly, at this time, I don't think I can do it legally....
Either you or I need to make a thread and ask exactly what the laws are about a C&R holder selling to a non-C&R holder in the State of California....why don't you do it for us please.
