Hi folks. I am going to sell my AR-15, and some ammo, to an individual. In the interest of being cautious, I told him I would prefer to go through an FFL. He was fine with that. I checked with the dealer that I bought the rifle from and they said they would do it for a fee of $50 which I'll pay.
I've never sold a firearm before so I have a few questions:
1) Who is the buyer? I am unclear about the logistics of this. Am I selling to the dealer and it is selling to the buyer or am I still selling to the individual in a private sale but having the dealer run a background check?
2) If the FFL only runs a background check, and it is still considered a private sale, do I need to do all of the paperwork that one would do outside of using an FFL?
3) Where is the money exchanged? Parking lot? FFL's place?
4) Any other words of advice?
I am in NYS which I believe allows private sale of rifles.
Thanks in advance.
