It is 100% illegal to transfer handguns across State lines without an FFL in the middle. That includes giving them to relatives.Tex1961 wrote: ↑Thu Jun 28, 2018 10:40 am Depending on the driving distance.

I'm sure the relative would expect some compensation such as a free gun or a small percentage of the take. If driving is impossible, and it sounds like a large and expensive collection. Using a freight company for delivery might work as well.
There are exceptions for inherited firearms and in some cases exceptions for long guns.

Re: How would you help sell hundreds of guns ?
Somewhere like Collectors Firearms would buy the entire lot in one transaction with payment in full at the time. Yes, it would be a discounted amount but they would take care of everything including getting them back etc..
It's fine if you disagree. I can't force you to be correct.

Re: How would you help sell hundreds of guns ?
The OP has gotten some pretty good assistance in his corner at this point. It will be interesting to read about how it all shakes out.
I can see where one might have concerns over selling 100's of firearms in this day and age. Naturally using an FFL for all transactions helps. From what I understand on the selling of firearms is one can find themselves being accused of operating as a firearms dealer without having the proper licensing.
Maybe one of the FFL's on the forum can chirp in but I was warned by a few on this very forum that all my buying and selling of firearms on gun broker may start looking bad. I was nowhere close to selling a hundred firearms. I was simply trying to improve my personal collection.

I would recommend he put them on consignment at a local gun shop that sells used guns.

Re: How would you help sell hundreds of guns ?
So as a general thing, it looks like a .36 caliber cap and ball 6-shooter handgun manufactured in 1865 would still be subject to all of the same transfer/shipping laws as a modern handgun .... while a far more powerful magazine fed Krag Jergensen battle rifle manufactured before 1889 would not be subject to those restrictions. I guess that makes some kind of sense on Planet Bizzaro.RoyGBiv wrote: ↑Sat Jun 30, 2018 9:03 pmI believe the correct answer is....

Re: How would you help sell hundreds of guns ?
Until some person walks into a gun free zone with a couple 50 caliber muzzle loaders and kills a few people. Then the leftist regime will call for outlawing those as well.The Annoyed Man wrote: ↑Sun Jul 01, 2018 10:18 amSo as a general thing, it looks like a .36 caliber cap and ball 6-shooter handgun manufactured in 1865 would still be subject to all of the same transfer/shipping laws as a modern handgun .... while a far more powerful magazine fed Krag Jergensen battle rifle manufactured before 1889 would not be subject to those restrictions.
