Transfering Rifle

[Guest jbranham63]

I have a general question about trading rifles in state. Do you have to transfer through a dealer to switch the names on the guns or do you just like sign an agreement or what? I am looking to trade with a guy and I just want to make sure to cover myself when trading? thanks.

There is no legal requirement to keep any records for a FTF sale in state.

Try the search function here. I think you'll find two schools of thought on it.

When you say switch the names on the guns,do you mean who the gun is registered to?

The answer to that is simple.

Go to the post office and get a new Passport.

Take that new Passport to the Department of Safety in Nashville(must be done in person) and request a Temporary Amended Ownership Accusation Form 4.

Or TAOAF4 for short.

Make sure its not a form 3!

I know,I know it looks the same,and has exactly all the same questions,and the same check boxes but its very different.

Fill that out(make sure your serial number is clearly readable!) and send it to your nearest BATF office in care of Selective Crime Reports on Explosives and Weapons for Mediation Enforcement.

Or SCREWME for short.

Once they approve your request you can then,and only then,commence to sell the rifle.

But only after you take the rifle in question to your nearest FFL dealer to transfer it.

Just kidding

Tn has no gun registry
