If one purchases a rifle at an auction in Ohio and the auction house has a table at a Pennsylvania gun show, given that, in Pennsylvania, long arms without shortened barrels can be purchased at a gun show without the Form 4473, can the rifle be picked up from the auction house at their table without filing the 4473 paperwork? The auction house claims it’s not the picking up of the rifle at the Pennsylvania gun show, but rather the State of Ohio and the rifle leaving that state.
Please confirm, modify, or refute. I maintain the 4473 paperwork is not necessary, but I very may well be wrong.
FWIW, the rifle is well over 100 years old but not pre 1899. Which is why “antique” needs to be redefined, but that’s another discussion. (My understanding is that the Mauser 1898 was considered to be “modern” in 1968 and a clerical error made the cutoff 1898 and before in mstead of prior to 1898).
