    Default Advice on selling a rifle as non-resident in PA.

    Hello Forum Members,

    I moved to CA in January of 2018. I left some rifles at my family home in Delco, and now I'd like to sell them. However, I am no longer a resident of PA. Can I sell to a PA residents while I'm home visiting? Do I need to go through a dealer to do so? Any advice would be appreciated. I'll check with a local gun shop as well. I'm selling a Henry All-Weather lever action rifle 45-70, never been fired, etc. Thank you!

    Yes, you can. In the case of a long arm, the transfer has to take place EITHER at a gun shop in the sellers state OR a gun shop in the buyers state. You CANNOT, however, sell it private face to face (no FFL involvement) since you are not a PA resident any more. The dealer will log it into his books using your name and CA address and log it out with the PA buyers name and address. The PA buyer will have to fill out a 4473 and undergo the background check.

    Yes, you can sell to a PA resident while you are home. Yes, you will need to transfer at a FFL since you are no longer a PA resident. It is Federal law for interstate transfers.
