WOW, thank you guys a bunch!!! I just double checked and the guy who told me that i didn't have to was wrong. Thanks for all the info, so if i sell this does that mean that i have to ship it to an FFL licensed dealer??? and then the buyer picks it up there or what???
Thanks for any info!

If an individual from the state you reside in buys it then it depends on your state laws. If he picks it up more than likely no. If it is shipped it will have to go to someone with a FFL especially if it is to another state. Here in west virginia I could just sell it to whoever wants to buy it as long as they pick it up from me and they look like they can be trusted with a firearm(no convict types)or are of legal age. Getting the buyer to sign areceiptdocumentingthe transaction of whoyou sold it to and whenis always a good idea. When shipping out of state or to an individual in state it will have to go to a ffl. Alot of people would probably just tell you to ship it without the company of your choiceknowing it, but then if they find out you could be fined and possibly servejail time and have the rifle confiscated. They sre getting real strict on just muzzleloaders only.UPS and the other shipping companies in my area wont ship one unless going tomanufacturer for repairs, back to the company you bought it from, or to a holder of an FFL. Its getting to be a pain. If someone is interested in buying from you just tell them to find a ffl holder in their area then a signed copy will have to be sent to where you ship it out from. I think it has to be a ffl holder also. Dont quote me though. It may be possible just to ship to the buyers ffl holder if the shipping company you use understands it is a legal business the rifle is going to. Need to ask the shipper to be definite.
Also when I mentioned the powder and primer thing they do fall under hazardous materials and have to be shipped as such. There are special charges assigned to such materials because they are explosives and if they detect it in theshipping process and it isnt labeled such,you could get fined there also or worse. The laws today are just so confusing but please play it safe. Sell the primers and powder locally if you can like in classifieds or something. We have a paper here that has a firearms section for just such things. This will take the heat off of you and keep you out of trouble. Hope this helps!!! Good Luck!!!

Also, it may be easier to find someone local that wants the frame rather than the whole gun. The frame is the only part that requires an FFL.
Then you could just sell all of the other pieces (barrel, stock, forearm)on here or ebay with no problem.
