Or 1898 and olderUnless it's a black powder cap and ball pistol, it will require the services of an FFL to ship/receive a pistol no matter the age! There are way too many grey areas such as the ability to take conversion cylinders or pistols that have always been cartridge firing pistols and their clones! Don't Do It!
Yes, but if the check clears and they ghost you...I always take a personal check for payment. You have the firearm...if the check fails to clear, you still have the firearm. Checks typically clear in just a few days.

Venmo is a NO GO as it is owned by anti gun PayPalZelle or Venmo works.
I have used Zelle to buy small $ items and there is no way for the buyer to reverse the payment, so no real way that I know of for them to scam you? And it is immediate.
I'm confused, why not? If it's provable pre-1899 and not NFA, and not going to a state with their own regulations, it shouldn't be an issue. I don't mean to be contradictory; I'm just curious to see if I'm missing something.Unless it's a black powder cap and ball pistol, it will require the services of an FFL to ship/receive a pistol no matter the age!

I worked in banking - this is accurate.and they can bounce back in a week or two later.
Then it is deducted from your account.
Just because it "cleared" doesn't mean it cleared.
These scams work because, once you deposit a check, you quickly see the funds in your account. Parting with some of that money then feels risk-free. But scammers know that while the law says banks have to make funds from deposited checks available within a day or two, it can take weeks to uncover a fake. Some scammers even tell you to wait for the check to "clear" before sending money. When it ultimately bounces, the bank can take back the amount of the fake check, leaving you on the hook for the money.
Don’t bank on a “cleared” check
Fake check scams take advantage of what we don’t know about how banks handle check deposits. Scammers do know, and they trick people into sending them money before the bank spots the fake. The FTC’s Consumer Sentinel Network database shows that people reported more than 27,000 fake check scams...www.ftc.gov
