1911a1 and C&R

[Sev]

So it's looking like I may inherit my grandfather's 1911a1 for a late birthday present. Does his WWII 1911 fall under C&R, or does it have to go through an FFL?

its C&R...how about some pics when you get it!

Will do

Edit: now i just have to figure out how to get a C&R

You don't need a C&R to inherit it and I'm very doubtful you'll need to go through a Type 01 FFL. Search the Web for information or wait for one of our resident lawyers to weigh in.

Where is the gun???? If the handgun is in MD, then a C&R will not do you much good.

Now you use the word "inherit". Did your grandfather pass away and leave you the handgun in his will? Or, is he being generous and giving you his gun before he passes?

If your grandfather passed away and the gun is given to you in his will, contact the local MSP barracks and verify that you can get the handgun with no $10 fee and that the forms are a formality.

The gun is in New Jersey, specifically Jersey City.
He has not passed away thankfully, but he is being generous and giving it to me

Not sure how things work in NJ, acquiring a handgun with a C&R, since NJ doesn't like anything but their own rules. It may have to go from a 01 FFL in NJ to a MD 01 FFL.

If granpa is a Jersey resident and you're a Maryland resident (without 03 C&R), it'll need to go from NJ dealer shipped to MD dealer and through the normal MD process.

 

[jindodog]

What Lou said. Even if the Md. resident has a C&R it would still have to go through a NJ 01 FFL. I just went through that with a recent purchase.

If you tell the story, the folks involved will probably cut you a break on transfer fees.

Who's your "usual" FFL in Maryland?

Sorry for the delay i've been in Philly for a few days
My usual is 2a sales.
And yeah i figured I'd have to go through a dealer in New Jersey to get to Maryland.
It's just going to be a bit involved for him, since he doesn't really know the process or how to do a transfer in Jersey. I also dont think he has an FFL he goes to anymore

Sev, I hate to ask this, but is the gun 100% legal in NJ? I don't know how old your grandfather is and does he have a valid NJ permit?? Don't want the NJ SP waiting for him because he wasn't up on all of their rules.

Now if the guy has everything dialed in, excuse me for my post.

As far as I know, he does. I've seen valid permits for his other pistols, so I believe he's good to go on this one

Glad to hear that. Good luck on the transfer. Good luck with the gun.
