It's not difficult, it's a standard inter-state transfer and the rules are from the POV of the purchaser in their home state. You ship/deliver to FFL of choice for WA resident, WA resident shows up and fills out 4473, does background check and they have a waiting period for completed AR15s in WA, once that is up, if BGC passed, they walk away with rifle.I have had a few ar15s for sale and some interested parties from Washington, has anyone dealt with this process, my ffl states its a bit tricky to transfer.
Any thoughts or experiences ?
I guess for rifles it doesn't matter if it's in the home state since that is only restricted to handguns. But the process is the same. If they do it in Oregon, then it won't require the rules Washington has. But it still requires an FFL because Oregon has outlawed private transfers.I spoke with coat of arms in Keizer and they stated all I need med was to be an oregon resident and it was a simple transfer from OR resident to WA resident taking place in oregon
Many Oregon FFLs do not understand the program.Thanks for the input fellas, didn't want to waste the buyers or my time so figured I would reach out to those that know more than I
Much appreciated
As for the training in Wa State, you do not have to show a certificate.It's not difficult, it's a standard inter-state transfer and the rules are from the POV of the purchaser in their home state.

There is a free training they have to complete due to I-1639 and show proof (only way around this, is stripped lowers or just the lower), https://sporting-systems.com/free-1639-training/
WA changed their requirements: If the buyer is a WA resident and the firearm is a handgun or a semi-auto rifle then the transfer from say an Oregon resident needs to take place at a WA FFL. If it was a bolt action rifle then a WA resident can purchase the rifle and do the transfer at an Oregon FFL. Assuming here the seller is an Oregon resident.I guess for rifles it doesn't matter if it's in the home state since that is only restricted to handguns. But the process is the same.

Ooof, that's new.WA changed their requirements: If the buyer is a WA resident and the firearm is a handgun or a semi-auto rifle then the transfer from say an Oregon resident needs to take place at a WA FFL.

I would appreciate someone showing me that statute.Ooof, that's new.
Can you please cite that statute?WA changed their requirements: If the buyer is a WA resident and the firearm is a handgun or a semi-auto rifle then the transfer from say an Oregon resident needs to take place at a WA FFL.

You make a solid point - https://app.leg.wa.gov/rcw/default.aspx?cite=9.41.122 shows out of state purchasing just has to meet regulations by WA, nothing about having to buy it in state of WA. https://www.atg.wa.gov/initiative-1639I would appreciate someone showing me that statute.
TIA,
Best,

No comment:I have read that it is easier to just transfer the serialized lower as a "lower" at the Washington FFL so they can take it home the same day, and then sell the upper to the buyer separately.

@wolfcreed I don't see a law stating that they have to purchase an AR type rifle in WA state. Only federal requirement for pistols, and out of state purchasing are having to meet legal requirements of WA in the 9.41.122.
