remixer 1,645 Posted November 9, 2015 FYI shipping a long gun to pa would be like 10 bucks via USPS Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
remixer 1,645 Posted November 9, 2015 The PA FFL will charge a Transfer fee i'm sure.. You cant do a Face to Face with the buyer in NJ or PA. it must go through a dealer. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Worn_Holster 2 Posted November 9, 2015 Just pack it up an take to post office with copy of PA FFL's licence? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
remixer 1,645 Posted November 9, 2015 You dont need a copy of the PA FFL's info in the box... You will need a copy of your DL in the box along with the buyers name. 1. Dont leave it loaded and do not ship ammo with it. ( I Know but i had to say that) 2. Make sure the FFL its going to will accept a transfer from the private party, Some do not.

mipafox 438 Posted November 9, 2015 Where in PA? You can just drive over there and pay an FFL $20 to transfer it for you. If the buyer is close enough. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Worn_Holster 2 Posted November 9, 2015 He is North of Philly willing to drive up here,I am in Denville Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mipafox 438 Posted November 9, 2015 Then meet him at FFL near you. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GRIZ 3,369 Posted November 9, 2015 The PA purchaser would need a NJ FPID to take delivery of the long gun in NJ from a FFL. Easiest to go to a PA FFL near you. The transfer fee is usually paid by the buyer unless you want to do that. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

capt14k 2,052 Posted November 25, 2015 I have the reverse of this situation. I want to buy a long gun from a PA Resident. He doesn't really want to drive into NJ (can't blame him) and I am willing to go to PA. I have purchased multiple long guns from PA Residents in the past and met them at PA FFL and FFL did transfer. I had to fill out the same paperwork as NJ and show my DL and FID. PA FFL ran background check and transfer was done at a cost of $9 at one place and $20 at another. The problem this time is the PA Resident is right outside of Philly and multiple FFLs I called said they can not transfer long gun to NJ Buyer. I believe this info is incorrect based on the FAQ and past experience. Can someone please clarify. Also while on the topic of purchasing long guns I found online a SA58 Rifle for Sale. Is it banned by name under FAL Type in NJ? If not it seems to pass the evil feature test there is no Bayonet lug, grenade launcher, flash hider or adjustable stock only the magazines are 20 rounds but seller is willing to sell w/o the magazines.

Legally, that is fine. You would have to fill out a Certificate of Eligibility (ones that regularly do NJ transfers, Cabela's for example), and them do the NICS check. If they don't want to, that is there own decision... as they don't want to be responsible if the gun isn't legal here. Similar to some FFLs not wanting to receive from a private individual. Not illegal, but they don't want to deal with having to get a copy of a driver's license from people that forget to send it. With the exception of guns banned by NJ law, the only thing a NJ resident cannot buy out of state is a pistol. Federal law requires they be transferred from out of state by an in-state FFL. You see NJ FFLs go to the Oaks gun show to take possession of handguns from PA FFLs and transfer to NJ residents (legally). Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
capt14k 2,052 Posted November 25, 2015 Thank you for the clarification. I thought maybe something was different in Philly or something changed. Three stores were insistent that buyer had to be from PA. The transfer is for a bolt action .22 rifle which I explained to all of them, but they all insisted I was incorrect.

capt14k 2,052 Posted November 25, 2015 Ask them how Cabela's gets away with it...It's funny you say that I used Cabela's as an example and even asked what if I were to come into your store and purchase the same rifle? One of them said they would have to ship to NJ FFL and two of them said it was OK because I was purchasing it from them direct. Which made zero sense because if theu believed that to be the law; why couldn't they buy the rifle from the PA Seller and then Re-Sell it to me as a NJ Buyer? I ultimately found an FFL South of Philly who has no issue with doing the transfer. Sent from my XT1585 using Tapatalk Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Screwball 483 Posted November 25, 2015 Good to hear. Keep their info. If it goes through good, post who they are so people in a similar boat know who to use. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
capt14k 2,052 Posted November 26, 2015 Clayton's in Horsham. PA right off the Turnpike I usually use for PA PTP transfers. They charge $20 total for NICS (I think PA uses PICS) and transfer. They also have an indoor range which allows every except 50 BMG. I will update if all goes well. Sent from my XT1585 using Tapatalk Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
