I have been keeping my eye out for an M1 Garand for a while now but have not been able to find anything close enough & in my price range that would allow a FTF transfer. In short, I've begun expanding my search beyond PA in hopes of finding one that I can afford but realize this means I must enter the world of transfer via an FFL. What's considered the proper "etiquette" (for lack of a better word) for your first transfer through an FFL? I would assume that I need to get in touch with the person in some way prior to committing to purchasing a firearm and having it shipped to them but does it need to be anything more than "Is this alright?" and then we communicate further when they receive it?
Sorry, I'm relatively new to the state/area and gun ownership in general and was just curious. Haven't really had the time to build up these kinds of relationships within the community due to a busy work schedule & I would rather start them off right!
