I live in Mass. I found a shotgun I want to buy on Gunbroker.com. The seller is in UT. The seller is a private party and not an FFL.
The seller wants to send the gun to an FFL as he cannot send it directly to me as the buyer. The seller asked me to have the FFL I select send a copy of the FFL's license to the seller. All sounds reasonable so far.
I went to a local FFL who would be happy to conduct the receiving of the gun and transferring it into my name. However, the FFL wants the seller to take the gun to an FFL in UT so that the Mass. FFL can receive the gun from another FFL and not from the private owner directly. The Mass FFL want a copy of the FFL's license from UT and then will send his FFL copy to the UT FFL for mutual verification.
Question #1: Is this typical? Are there FFL's in Mass that would take the shipment of the shotgun directly from the seller and not request that it be sent from a UT FFL? If so can anyone please provide the name and number of such a Mass. FFL? I am in the Lowell, MA area.
Question #2: Can I, as a Mass resident, have a shotgun sent to an FFL in NH to complete the transaction? Would a NH FFL do such a transaction for a Mass. resident? If anyone knows a NH FFL that would do such a transaction and would accept shipment directly from my seller, please recommend to me.
Thanks in advance for the assistance and advice.
