Shipping to Non FFL

[Jhunter]

Shipping question. I am a Florida resident. Is it legal to sell a firearm and ship here in the state of Florida to another Florida residence, without going through an FFL?

You can ship, but it must be received by an FFL to my knowledge. https://legalbeagle.com/6644569-florida-firearm-shipping-rules.html

It is, but not many people understand that it is.

Unless it's an antique, pre 1900s I think, it will need to go to an FFL.
Either a store or a individual with a C&R (If the gun is older than 50 years and in original configuration, a C&R is still an FFL though).

It is, but not many people understand that it is.

If you're saying 'it is' to the shipping part, please elaborate. I've wondered about this myself.

May a nonlicensee ship a firearm through the U.S. Postal Service? | Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives

A nonlicensee may not transfer a firearm to a non-licensed resident of another state. A nonlicensee may mail a shotgun or rifle to a resident of their own state or to a licensee in any state. The U.S. Postal Service recommends that long guns be sent by registered mail and that no marking of any...

Shotgun or long gun, OK to ship in-state.

Should be legal to ship to a resident in state as long it is a rifle or shotgun

Handguns are not mailable. A common or contract carrier must be used to ship a handgun.

Ok so where does a model 700 action only or 10/22 action only fall

 

[Viper0hr]

That's nuts, did not realize interstate shipping was ok like that. Really cool tbh.

My understanding is that the receiver housing with serial number Is considered a firearm and must be shipped as such. All other parts are just parts And can be shipped Like anything else.... You can buy anything on eBay except the receiver and have it shipped directly to you.

I call the action itself a machined part not a gun unless it is the barrel, action and all the weapon

As long as they are a rifle or shotgun, you can use the post office to mail to a non-FFL in state.

I’ve seen “Model 700”-style AND “10/22”-style pistols, so just confirm they are rifle actions.

Barrel or not doesn’t matter. The serial-numbered receiver is considered the “firearm” for those two models.

These actions are firearms. My question is where do they land with the ATF? Rifle or Pistol. It was shipped from the manufacturer as a rifle but could become a pistol or rifle.

IIRC leaving the action barreled, provided 18.5", it allows you to ship like long gun without requiring FFL. Looked into it when I had my barrel fluted.

Since you only have actions, treat them like a pistol. They need to be shipped to an FFL. You can ship them, but not directly to him.

Like many other things that are government Does that doesn't make sense, They consider the [ receiver housing ] As the firearm everything else is just parts.

I know but that is what I tell the shipper

If the actions were “born” from the factory as a rifle, they can’t become a pistol. They can only become short-barreled rifles. Yeah, it’s stupid.

If the actions were “born” as pistols, then they can become rifles, and go back to being pistols later. Provided that the pistols wear a longer-than-16” barrel Before the stock is put on. Very stupid.

For the Ruger, if the action says “10/22”, it should be a rifle. If it says “22 Charger”, then it’s a pistol.

For the Remington, I’m not sure if the 700 CP (pistols) were marked differently than the Model 700 rifles.

Regardless, the serial numbers would tell the tale. If you know they are rifles, then you can mail the barrel-less actions to a non-FFL in state.
