I am interested in selling a shotgun that I know longer use. Question: Can I sell a gun without an FFL ? I plan to list such item on gunbroker.Thanks....

    With the amount of posts you allready have, I am surprised you don't allready know. (No, I am not saying that to be an *, I am just surprised).

    You don't have to be an FFL to sell a shotgun. The receiving FFL MAY not accept a gun from a private individual however. Make sure you post in you auction that the receiving FFL must accept from a private shipper, IF you plan to ship it yourself.

    If you are shipping interstate, you need to ship it to an FFL dealer or at least a C&R FFL holder if it's over 50 years old (unless banned by state or local laws).

    Yeah, you need to ship to an FFL.

    I would price check in your neighborhood, with an FFL that might do the shipping for you. It may be cheaper for you to go that route, or it may not. Lower shipping cost may translate to a higher bid for you in the end too.

    Don't forget to plug your auction over on the GD board.

    YOU can mail a long gun yourself to the receiving FFL, through the USPS. That is the cheapest way. But like freemind said, make sure the receiving FFL will accept it from you instead of insisting it come from another FFL. Usually a copy of your drivers license is all that is required.

    Papers please.........[V]

    Why not sell shotgun locally FTF, no paperwork or fuss? Is private sales banned in your state? We regularly sell/trade guns here in Colorado. Always been able to find whatever a guy wants locally within a week or two.
