or what ever its called i dont even know what ffl stands for

im trying to selll my muzzleloader on here and someone was wondering

Not to ship or receive.
Some states you ship to may require you ship to a FFL - Federal Firearms licensee.
Buyer needs to know law in his state.

Not yet, anyhow, but a bill is currently in the Assembly to require ALL persons selling firearms to have the Federal Firearms License (FFL), including your average joe who wishes to sell his rifle or shotgun.

Another great downstate idea!
And the "source" says don't worry - be happy.

Tunnel vision. He only considers bowhunting and not too much beyond that. Sad, truly sad.

But that is truly the sportsman in many regards. Passions about their love tends to tunnel vision folks to see only what may affect their loves, blinded to the efforts which seem unconnected, but have a direct affect on your passions, without you knowing it. Until, that is, its too late...

As long as it's not a Thompson center no FFL is needed. The Thompson's have the ability to install centerfire barrels and require a NICS. You can purchase muzzleloaders via the mail.

i think muzzleloaders you are fine. anything else you need to go through an FFL holder. all youd have to do is have a gunshop ship it to another gunshop. buyer generally pays the FFL fee..its not too much i dont believe. always best to check both states laws on the subject. lots of states are diffrent and change..

thndrchiken,

The only TC that requires a FFL is the Encore, or any other model that can swap bbls for a centerfire cartridge. The TC muzzleloaders (black diamond, hawken, thunderhawk, etc)are the same as any other brand of ML rifle. No FFL required.

Since we're on the subject of NY and FFL... This is the bill currently in the Assembly. NOtes nothing about exempting MLs...

It ain't law yet, but we better stay on top of it.
