If I understand what you want to do it is NOT legal.
ANYONE can buy/ship an antique firearm without an FFL as they are not considered "firearms" by the ATF, Antique Firearms Defined - U.S. Government Info/Resources Your described gun is not a antique.
The info that came with your C&R is very specific about what you are allowed to do with it. The short version is it allows you to have C&R guns shipped directly to you for YOUR personal collection. Receiving guns for others is specifically lists as not allowed.
Now what you do with a gun YOU have acquired for YOU with your C&R after it is YOURS is up to you. It is legal to sell part of all of your collection to legal buyers at any time..........
NWcid, that is my basic understanding as well. Thanks for confirming it. However, I didn't see anything in the dozens of pages of info from the BATFE that would prevent me from purchasing my C&R eligible firearm, and then deciding later to sell or give away part of my collection. I guess I need to tell my friend no, I cannot be a transfer agent for him, despite no money exchanging hands.
I don't own a business and haven't used my 03FFL other than to buy a couple old milsurps.
But a friend is interested in buying an out-of-state 90+ year old handgun, and then have it shipped to me.
I would record the transaction but no money would change hands.
Is this legal?
YES. You are a FFL and licensed to receive such items. n Unless you are intentionally deceiving the .gov about the pervious ownership of the gun, you are AOK. Straw sales hardly apply in this case as it's gong into your bound book anyway.
