I am buying a firearm from a C&R (03) FFL and having it shipped to a regular (01) dealer for transfer. The firearm is C&R per the ATF list. Is this transfer handled like a dealer to dealer transfer or as a private seller to dealer transfer?
1. Should the transfer FFL send a copy of their FFL to the C&R FFL (as in a dealer to dealer transfer) or do they only have to give the numbers to use ez-check (as when a private seller transfers to a dealer)?
2. Can the seller ship the firearm (it is a pistol) directly like a licensed dealer or does it have to be shipped through an licensed dealer? The dealer will not accept firearms that are improperly shipped for transfer.
The dealer I am working to do this transfer had never received a firearm from a C&R in the past and did not want to do the research to find out what was required, however they would do the transfer if I could find the information for them. Can someone point me to the section in the ATF regs that address these questions specifically.
