you can send directly to an ffl ..... make sure you get Post office money order or something of that sort don't do PayPal you can get screwed..... However my experience it's just better to sell locally even if you get a little less for it
Good luck  :shaka: :shaka: :shaka:

If PayPal suspects that you've used their service for a gun transaction, you're instantly cancelled with them.

All it takes is for your buyer or seller to complain to PayPal and you're done.

If its someone you trust that won't snitch to PayPal, you're ok. (Sending money as a gift)

You should cruise some car forums.   I've heard of many a seller and buyer getting screwed by Paypal.  Non-payments, clawback of funds, etc.

USPS MO and shipment through federal mail also pulls the Fed into play.  Someone screws you and it's not just standard firearms stuff.
