Easy to ship if to a FFL in your state. It is not drilled and tapped. All original.Can a guy buy a rifle like that across state lines or do I need a cavity search and a note for my mom. Also is it drilled and tapped for a scope ?
You can buy rifles across state lines with just a background check. Meet the seller at a dealer in Vancouver and pay the transfer fee.Can a guy buy a rifle like that across state lines or do I need a cavity search and a note for my mom. Also is it drilled and tapped for a scope ?

Thank you for the good information. Much appreciated!I've bought rifles as a private individual (WA resident) across the state line in OR on many occasions. It's really a simple process. You and the seller can do the transfer in either Portland or in Vancouver.
How does that work?
So.....you and the seller agree to meet at an FFL Dealer in either state to make a legal transfer. I suggest a Pawn Shop. Here in Vancouver, WA.......I like Tropics Jewelry And Loan (either, Orchards or Hazel Del). As for in Portland....I like A Cut Above Pawn (Beverton). The costs are not that bad at those three places (last time I checked about $20 or so, for everything).
BTW, I just did a transfer in Salem, OR and the seller chose a gun shop that charged me $25 for the pleasure of a BGC and another $10 for the OR state fee. Then, there was that time when I made arrangement to buy a great 22LR rifle in Eugene, OR. But, the seller said that his FFL wouldn't do it because of the OR law. Claiming that I could NOT just do a BGC in OR and take my purchase home to WA. B.S. But whatever. The seller was getting bad advice. No doubt in my mind, it was because the FFL Dealer was trying to enrich himself. Either, trying to get the rifle for himself or to make me pay for additional transport services to physically get the gun to WA.
Both transactions were at "Gun Shops." Now do you see why I prefer a Pawn Shop FFL? I would mention their names, except that, speaking ill of a possible/potential advertiser, is probably not good for this web site.
Anyway......it's best (IMHO) to call ahead to let the FFL know of your intentions. And, ask about the costs.
