Process of buying and selling?

[mrerick]

The license check site is not for class 03 C&R or class 06 Ammo Mfg licensees. It doesn't include class 03 C&R collector licensees in the database.

It is OK to ship a C&R firearm interstate to a C&R license holder. While not an absolute guarantee of honesty, someone holding a C&R license has been through a criminal background check. Look for someone with a track record in the collecting community.

It's normal to offer a 3 business day evaluation period (non-firing) during which you'll accept return of a firearm at the purchaser's expense for full refund.

Note that you have to have a signed copy of the FFL in order to initiate shipment across state borders; and all state and local laws in both locations have to be complied with.

These rules do not apply to export outside the USA, which requires a formal export license and is handled by a FFL licensed for export / import.
