There have been a few questions about having to ship this rifle through
an FFL. If this rifle was made in 1888 does it need to be shipped to an
FFL holder?

 

[The Real Wyatt]

You need to Verify this with your FFL holder

but I'm quite certain that any firearm manufactured prior to 1899 is considered an "Antique" and can be shipped to anyone, irrespective of whether they have a FFL or not.

I think my FFL holder just logs everything in no matter what. The more
I read the law and the gunbroker web site the more I agree with you.
Thanks!

Well, thank for looking everyone. This is about the last of it. I'm going
pheasant hunting and won't be back until the auctionis about over.
Thanks again!
