I just sold a gun online and I'm confused about how to get it to my buyers FFL dealer. The buyer contacted me and told me that his FFL dealer said that the rifle had to ship from one FFL dealer to another and that I couldn't ship it myself even if I include a copy of the FFL where its going in the box
Is this true?
I was under the impression that as long as I included a copy of the FFL with the shipment of where it going then I can take the rifle to UPS or FedEx and ship it out myself and avoid going through an FFL on my end?
This is the message I got from my buyer, is he correct?
I've never shipped a firearm before so I want to do things the right way and also the cheapest way possible.

The bad news, you have to take the rifle to a FFL, get me the info and the fax number so I can give it to my guy. They will need to exchange information before the gun can be shipped. When a gun is shipped it has to have both a to and from FFL license number in order for it to be legal. That is the problem with doing personal shipments. If you can, go to the nearest gun shop and email me the info and we can complete the transaction.
