QUICK question...private sales of long guns

[Jmac00]

does a private sale of a long gun have to be transferred at a FFL.

honestly, I have not bought a new gun in 4 or 5 years? so Im not sure

 

[nortatoga]

Yes!

 

[Jmac00]

I kinda figured, good thing there is a FFl a couple miles down the street

 

[Podmonkey]

Transfers between family members however do not require an FFL correct?

When I sell a book do I need to report to the library? FUNY

Psssst ....... I won't tell if you don't .....

FFL is needed unless buyer is immediate family. Same if you sell on Gunbroker. Must ship to a FFL.

There’s a stupid list of who is exempt on the safe act web site. Of course that list makes zero sense like everything else.

 

[Jmac00]

so I went and looked at the gun, the serial Number starts with *MR* 379454. Im leary of the *MR* that was when Marlin was sold in 2011, I have heard a lot of bad things about guns made during the transition.

although this gun seemed to be very solid, I told him Id think about it. I just want to see when the gun was manufactured before I make a decision

YES if it goes Bang [ other than Family] What better way to Register most every Firearm in the state.

 

[MoMan]

Utter bullshit!!

 

[Jmac00]

well, I guess the deal may be off. Like I said I went to look at this gun, I asked when the gun was manufactured and the guy didn't know. So i said I could get the gun for $499 off The sportsmen Guide, would he take $500, he said no. I said I'd need to think about it and do some research to find the manufacturing date and left. so I did some EXTENSIVE research and found out the gun was Manufactured in April of this year?
So I texted the guy back and said I'd like to take another look at the gun.
He texted back, no thanks, he said "u tried to lowball me and u think you know more about my gun than me"
I said, "I'm willing to pay the $600, but I need you to cycle the gun 3 or 4 times to make sure the gun feeds and ejects correctly. would you still like to meet?"
he has not responded?

so I guess my search for a 45-70 continues.

I'd say your a bit to smart for that guy.

 

[Robin]

So when I make an offer on anything, I assume the guy understands that I'm interested and it is the opening for negotiations. Never ever had some one tell me they wouldn't sell me something because the initial offer was too low. What next, he didn't like your shoes?

I posted this in the other thread but this one is from a dealer. Hopefully, less drama involved.

sounds like he's more interested in ripping someone off than actually selling the gun. The people who do their due diligence are the types that scare the shit out of greedy sellers.

 

[repete]

Your better off and I wouldn't consider an offer of $500 being "low balled", guys a jerk let it go.

 

[Jmac00]

Ok, I never called the guy back. He seemed to be a jerk and wasn't comfortable with him. I went to American Sportsman in East Rochester and they had a Remlin 1895G 18½" barrel in 45-70. it was manufactured in May of this year. Fit and finish are very good, it cycles beautifully. So I bought it for $639.

 

[Celt]

If its someone you trust then FUAC. The stupid law said FFLS were only supposed to charge $10 for the transfer, but ffls charge top dollar regardless.

 

[96coal449]

The right to bear arms cannot be infringed.

You can erase it all you want, dick breath, monkey face, asshole.
It still exists.

Oh, and track that on my social media fuck face. I'll be long gone. Done here.

I took a deer with the same rifle yesterday. It was devastating with 350gn lead round nose bullets. Blew the lungs apart without doing much damage to meat. I’m impressed.

But Hell, Were all family right?

very cool, I have not even had a chance to go out and pull the trigger on my new gun, been so damn busy.

did you use the buckhorn sites or did you put a scope on it.

 

[Airborneguy]

Mine has a 3-9x40 scope on it.
