Just thought I'd toss this out for the local guys or those that would travel.

 

Weatherby  Mark 5 (Japan) Deluxe 30-06.  The gun was part of the old Bank Of Boulder deal where you could send in some cash and get a gun in return instead of interest.  Pretty neat deal!  I believe the year was 1978 that dad did the deal.  It came with Buehler Mounts and a Weatherby scope.  I tossed the scope and put on an older Leupold VX 3-9 back in 1997 when we went on an antelope hunt.  Dad killed his buck 'lope with it and it has sat since until this year when he used it to kill a 7pt.

 

He would like something a bit lighter and with a touch less recoil, like a 243 so this one needs to move on.

IIRC he killed a couple bucks with it in PA back in the late 70's after getting the gun but truth be told it has seen very little action.  It came with a Weatherby branded hard case (plastic) and the test target.  

 

I certainly can get better pics of everything if someone is interested. $875 local and we can split FFL checks.

Yes and no,shipping from NY to Alaska would be about 50 dollars or more.I shipped a rifle to Alaska 2 years ago and it was double what the lower states get for shipping.NewYorkHillbilly,if you can find a FFL that will accept a shipment from a private individual it will be cheaper for you in the long rung because it will cut the cost of a FFL here.Most FFL's want a FFL to FFL transfer but some accept a shipment from private transfer.Just make sure you get all info that they need shipped with the rifle.Super nice rifle,GLWS

From New York it has to be shipped from an FFL to a FFL where ever.

As far as I know, if it's shipped from anywhere, it requires being shipped to an FFL on the receiving end.

 

Does the SAFE act now require one on the shipping end?

 

I shipped several guns over the last few years (before the SAFE act) & was not required to use an FFL on my end. Handguns did require an FFL on the shipping end, but not long guns.

 

Just curious.

It's been a few years since I purchased a firearm, so will someone tell me, how does this FFL check thing factor into a private deal?  Lawdwaz, if I wanted to buy this rifle and have it shipped to me here in Alaska could it be done?

 

As long as the FFL on your end will except (and it is PERFECTLY legal) from a private individual there is NO problem with the transfer.  SafeAct has nothing to do with this.........

 

All you need to do is get an FFL to send me a copy of his license, via email, FAX or USPS.  If he requires the gun to be shipped to him from an FFL we can do that also but it adds to the cost a little.

 

If you want it, we can work it out.  I have the original hard case and I can fabricate a cardboard shipping container to enclose the entire thing.  Piece of cake...................... :)

If a long gun is being sold and shipped, it is easier to ship it out of state than in state.

 

If I am wrong on that, please correct me.

I think the biggest hurdle is actually the USPS. Since UPS & other private shippers won't ship firearms, the USPS is your only option. Their requirement are that long guns be shipped to an FFL. I don't see what state either end is in would matter to the USPS.

 

Not sure about why handguns require an FFL on both ends.

I know muzzle loaders some times have different rules but I just received a muzzle loader threw ups with no problems

I shipped a Rugar "Old Army" percussion revolver through USPS W/O an FFL. That depends on the state though. I had some guy in NJ purchase the gun 1st, but he had no FFL to receive which was required. I think he was trying to circumvent the law. I ended up selling it to someone in a state with no requirements for FFL on that particular weapon type.

 

"Antiques" or replicas are exempt in USPS regs..

 

As far as UPS, my 1st experience was with a rifle barrel shipped to Canada so I may have been assuming the rest. According to their rules, which I just checked out on their website, manufactirers, dealers, etc, may ship to individuals. That's not correct is it?

The UPS Stores are independent operated, and often refuse arms and ammo as a store policy.

Going to a UPS or FedEx hub type facility will work MOST of the time if the employees know the rules.

I have used USPS on many occasions for long guns without issue in general. Sometimes the desk clerk needs a little coaching by superviser on rules, but all in all pretty easy.

Throw in a red bow and this would make a nice Christmas stocking stuffer at a fair price on a low round count gun. ^_^

That's correct. I've shipped many guns. IMO, USPS is the way to go. Just make sure it doesn't say anything on the box about it being a firearm. Also, Fedx does ship also, but they require it be shipped overnight.

This man speaks the truth.

 

I've used USPS, FedEx and UPS.  I don't recall how FedEx wanted it as the gun was sent back for some work on the builders dime..........UPS was done via the main hub on Cayuga Rd, no sweat.  USPS was easy too.

Hey Lawdwaz

I'll speak to the gun shop fella in town tomorrow. I have people here that claim all they did when they moved here, was to have family mail their long guns to them through the regular mail. No matter how we do this it will be a nice rifle to do some Alaska hunting. Send me a PM and we can work out the details. Thanks!
