C&R Transfer Question for the Pros

[3rd24thindian]

Got a question which I am sure is simple but I cant find the answer. I am wanting to buy a C&R categorized pistol from a friend in Illinois that has a C&R. For me to get the gun I need to 1) Go to my ffl and get him to send my buddy his info 2) Get my buddy to send my ffl his own C&R info 3) Go through the normal procedure with my ffl once the gun arrives. Is this correct? Any help is appreciated.

Do you have a C&R? If not, get one and make life easier on both of you.

Your buddy's C&R is moot. A C&R grants special exemptions for acquiring firearms but gives none for selling them. Unless you have a C&R, it has to be done like any other intersate transfer via FFL.

The only extra step is that the seller has to record the sale in his bound book.
