Private sellers of regulated items can transfer ( if the seller wants) on the 8th day.

I wouldn't get that anyway. DPMS lower, unknown upper, close to $2000 for an inferior quality rifle. I would stay fffffffffar away.

 

[neversatisfiedj]

Forget the rifle - I'm talking bout the wait period.

Yes that seems to be the case with private party

To paraphrase 'A gun in the hand is worth two on the shelf'.

In 8 days you can have possession of the rifle ?

Yes, in a secondary sale.

The law is worded after 7 days of not hearing anything from the MSP, it is okay to release the regulated firearm. Most dealers will not accept the liability, if the purchase is declined by the MSP.

yes just go to the msp barracks and do a private party transfer... they only require the seller to hold for 7 days and then after its yours. Buying anything regulated private party is the way to go right now. Problem is everything private party is selling for like 40% over its value lol.

So what happens if MSP tells you after 10 days it's denied. Do I have to recover the firearm?

So why does it take months and months when you go thru FFL to buy regulated firearm ? But only a week and a half to complete paperwork thru private party ?

The police will do this. You might consider calling them to remind them, but they should do it on their own.

You have a lot less to lose. The dealers are doing a CYA for financial and publicity reasons.

So the owner holds the money and firearm until approval ? Sounds like you better trust the seller.

Last FTF transfer I did, I kept the firearm, the buyer kept the money until day #8. We met, he paid me, and provided a copy of a photo ID and signed the receipt. I gave him the firearm and we both went on our merry way.

Not necessarily. All you are filling out the paperwork for is for an application to purchase. No need for $ to change hands at the beginning. If I were ever to go this route as a seller I would at least get a $50 to $100 deposit with the balance due at the actual transfer.

If you're a felon, the seller is going to lose his gun as evidence when the cops go arrest you. It's not at all risk free for them.
