Pretty simple situation, at least I think so.
Myself, living in Wyoming, wants to purchase a complete AR rifle from a gent in California. I talked to the local sporting goods store to see if they could conduct the FFL transfer, and as soon as I said "California", the response was no way, no how would they conduct business with CA, be it another FFL or a private individual.
Now, I've read calguns and the CA DOJ pages and can't find anything there or elsewhere on the net prohibiting the sale of a rifle out of state. Selling TO someone in CA has it's own can of worms.
This doesn't quite make sense to me. I plan on going to one of the other stores in town that does FFL transfers and get a second opinion to see if the response is the same.
Question 1: Is the sporting goods store right?
Question 2: Does the seller have to submit his rifle to an FFL for shipment or can he send it directly to my FFL?
Question 3: If there is no way to send the complete rifle, can the seller simply keep the lower receiver and send me the rest of the parts, leaving me to procure my own lower?
