Trigger Mike 701 Posted May 14 how do I ship a pre 1898 pistol from ga to OK? Do I need a copy of his driver's license? Anything else I need to do? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kid Rich 455 Posted May 15 Go on the BATF website look in the frequently asked questions portion you will or should be able to get a definitive answer there. If you can't find the answer there call the 800 number listed. kR 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Honestly, I would go to an FFL and ask them what is the best course of action. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Perro Del Diablo 1,231 Posted May 15 Pre 1898 is not regulated by federal law however local and state laws can differ. Getting his information can be an extra layer of protection for yourself. I don’t know Oklahoma law but here in Texas you could mail straight to me nothing needed 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kid Rich 455 Posted May 15 I have asked FFL's and BATF agents questions and not always got the correct answer. Their website will give you the right answer. kR Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Utah Bob #35998 11,359 Posted May 15 As mentioned, go to the ATFE website. Print out the regs. Then check the regs in the receiver’s state. When in doubt ask an FFL ....although that can sometimes be iffy too. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Alpo 4,718 Posted May 15 No. You are wrong. https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/18/921 firearm (16) The term “antique firearm” means— (A) any firearm (including any firearm with a matchlock, flintlock, percussion cap, or similar type of ignition system) manufactured in or before 1898; or (B) any replica of any firearm described in subparagraph (A) if such replica— (i) is not designed or redesigned for using rimfire or conventional centerfire fixed ammunition, or (ii) uses rimfire or conventional centerfire fixed ammunition which is no longer manufactured in the United States and which is not readily available in the ordinary channels of commercial trade;... See that nice black OR? Pre 1899, OR a REPLICA of a pre-1899 gun that does not use modern ammo. 1 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Yellowhouse Sam # 25171 397 Posted May 15 Something else to bear in mind is "does your carrier recognize that it may be/is legal'. Even at that they may refuse to ship except from dealer to dealer or at all. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Trigger Mike 701 Posted May 16 FFL may be the way to go then. Mine can ship it less than I can and only charges me 20 to do it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
