Can an AK resident sell a firearm in OR?

[FriendOfEvanWilliams]

So I am moving from Alaska back to Oregon soon, and I want to thin out my collection once I get there. I know the laws on private sales have changed since I left Oregon, so of course I will go through an FFL and so forth.

My question is pretty much the same as the title. I won't have Oregon residency for a year, so am I legally allowed to sell firearms to an OR resident if I am still technically an AK resident?

Once you have an Oregon ID I believe you are good to go.

This.

For an FFL dealer to accept a face to face sale, the sellers ID must match there current place of residence. If not, problems will ensue, up to and including refusal of acceptance of said firearm into the FFL dealers bound book.

Why won't you have OR resident status for a Year?

So let's parse this out a bit... you're going to move to Oregon "soon", but you won't have residency for about a year. "Soon" being a relative term, I assume it will be an extended process or something.

Having said that... the main concern is if the purchaser is legally able to purchase a firearm not the residency status of the seller. The second concern is if the firearm is listed as stolen. When an Oregon Resident purchases a firearm through an Oregon FFL, the FFL goes through the Oregon State Police firearms backgound unit via either the telephone or the OSP website for FFL dealers.

The purchaser's info is submitted for the background check and the make, model, and serial number of firearm are submitted against the stolen firearms lists.

In short, as a resident of Alaska you can indeed sell any legally possessed privately owned firearm in Oregon to an Oregon resident through a FFL.

[FriendOfEvanWilliams]

Because I apparently was going by the requirements for residency when it comes to college tuition, and now that I look up the actual state regulations I see that I just have to declare myself a resident and get an OR license.

You can basically do this in any state.

What constitutes residency in a State? | Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives
May a person who resides in one State and owns property in another State purchase a firearm in either State? | Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives
May an unlicensed person acquire a firearm under the GCA in any State? | Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives
How may an unlicensed person receive a firearm in his or her State that he or she purchased from an out–of–State source? | Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives

Yes - state laws are different in each state. But then the FAQs on the ATF site usually state that qualification'; that the purchase/possession must be legal by state law too.
