I just sold my first gun and I have a question What is the paper work process for transferring it.The FFL will send me his info and I verify it at this point do I need to do any paperwork or send him anything or do I wait to get the payment and I ship the gun to the FFL.
Thanks for any help

  A. DO THE FFL EZ CHECK
  B. RECEIVE FUNDS
  C . SEND THE GUN + YOUR INFO (COPY OF DRIVERS LICENSE, PASS PORT, ECT.)
  D. BUY ANOTHER GUN

  Don't ship the gun until you have both Payment and FFL ! When you receive FFL you can verify that it's current , and verify the Address by going to BATFE-EasyCheck online . You can only legally ship to the physical Address on the FFL . I would also advise not shipping till the Funds you receive clear your Bank . Trust no one , and you won't get burned !

  What kind of "Gun"? Handgun or rifle/shotgun? Antique, modern or C&R?

  It's a handgun a 22lr auto.
  Thanks for the info easier than I thought.
  If I send copy of Drivers license and Pistol permit I should be fine.

  Make sure the receiving FFL will and can accept a handgun from a non-licensee. Also, you must ship via FedEx or UPS and follow their rules regarding the shipment of firearms. You can not ship through USPS.

  Yes, either Federal Express (FedEx) OR United Parcel Service (UPS). Only FFL holders may ship a handgun via US Mail. It costs an individual approximately $70.00 to ship a handgun via UPS or FedEx, because they want you to declare it and they insist you ship it via their overnight service....$70.00 worth. Therefore it might turn out to be cheaper to use a FFL, depending upon what they charge you to perform that service. Furthermore, the Buyer's FFL holder might refuse to accept a shipment from an idividual and insist upon receiving the shipment only from another FFL.
