Question on AK47 firearm transfer.

**mpett1** · December 24th, 2009, 01:00 PM

Hi my friends brother has a AK47 that he bought for my friend in another state. He needs to ship this to PA for him. The question is this does he need to transfer this via FFL or can he just ship it to him outright?

Thanks

Intrastate; must go through FFL.

I think it only has to go TO a FFL.

Intrastate means: Within the borders of a single state.
Interstate means: connecting or involving different states.

This transaction seems to be interstate and thus requires an FFL.
