Equipment Exchange guide to buying and selling guns

If you are shipping this to an FFL, many of them require it so they can record the information in their book.

I just sold a rifle on Gunbroker and the buyer wants a copy of my drivers license and the serial number of the rifle. I am not comfortable with the copy of my license but am o.k. with giving the buyer the serial number. Has anyone had this happen before?

Correct. We must have a copy of either an FFL or the "sellers" Drivers License for our Firearms Disposition and Records book which is required, by law, from the ATF. We must show who we received the firearm from just as we must show who it went out too.


Also, all handguns MUST be shipped via 2nd Day shipping or faster. UPS and FedEx are the only options. USPS allows for private individuals to ship long guns but NOT handguns. Yea, you can get away with shipping via USPS but if your package is lost or stolen in route to its destination and it contained a handgun and was not shipped via a FFL to another FFL, you are in deep deep trouble with the Fed.
