Selling a rifle to Oregon resident / FFL dealer

pk64f100 · Jan 27, 2014

What are the laws for a md resident to sell a rifle to a resident in oregon. I have a semi-auto rifle that I am selling the person in Oregon has given me their FFL dealer's info. What do I have to do to make this happen (do I need to go thru my FFL delaer or just send to theirs, do I need to contact state police & etc...)?

You can mail a rifle USPS (I believe) to the FFL, if the FFL will accept from non-FFLs.

Try to get the part of the FFL number needed to verify here, unless you know it's a good dealer:

Best to also check with your local Post Office and ask what you need to do. The USPS will likely be the cheapest way to go. You may ship long guns through the USPS as an individual if shipping to an FFL (keep a copy of the FFL for your records and to show the Post Office).

As an individual (and not an FFL), you MAY NOT ship a handgun through the postal system. You may ship a handgun through a Maryland FFL to another FFL.

safest method is FFL to FFL...also assuming the firearm is legal in Oregon.

Fed/EX likes to hear the words sporting goods if they ask what's in the box from my experience.

FedEx and UPS will accept firearms to or from a licensee. So you can ship it via either one.

Up to you, if you want to pay an MD FFL to ship that, that will also work. But not needed for MD or Federal laws.

VERY BAD ADVICE. If you provide a false statement about shipping a firearm, you may find the Feds knocking on your door. Not a good idea.

You may not mark or identify on the outside of the package what it is, but you must be truthful if they ask. "Sporting goods" is quibbling and will get you in a whole heap of trouble.

He does not need to ship through a FFL if it's a long gun.
