Can a WA buyer still buy a gun in OR and have the transfer done in Oregon?

So the Oregon seller and Washington buyer come in and you can do the transfer. But you couldn't do it the other way around; which would be a Washington seller and Oregon buyer into a Washington gun store? The buyer has to do the transfer in their home state, but the seller could go into the buyers state to do the deal. Is this right?Pretty much same as you buying a gun online and having it shipped to me. You and the seller come in, we log the gun in from the seller, do the background check then assuming the buyer gets a proceed log the gun out to them. The State long gun and handgun laws apply but overall it's pretty simple.
Yes but only if it's a long gun.Can a WA buyer still buy a gun in OR and have the transfer done in Oregon?
Hand guns have to be done in the buyers state but you can go into OR and buy a long gun through a dealer.So the Oregon seller and Washington buyer come in and you can do the transfer.

You will probably have to call around, to find someone that will do transfers for private sales. Not everyone will. One of my local gun stores only does it for customer convenience, because of the time that it takes; which in their case it is a two day process. A local pawn shop, that sells guns, doesn't do private transfers. Another thing, I've seen the price can be anywhere from $25 to $75 too. YMMV........... does anyone know any FFLs around Moses Lake who will do these types of transactions?
Thank you for any help.
Soooo people are actually supporting this law? Forgive me as I'm relatively new to the state and had heard that most folks were peacefully resisting and ignoring this law. I'm just trying to understand what the bulk of folks are doing? Additionally, is anyone being prosecuted for not following this law?
Most gun stores seem to be on the verge of going out of business, it seems to me that it is a very difficult industry for a business to thrive in. Even if it just covers an employees wages while they are doing the transfer, it makes some sense. Most gun store employees don't seem overly taxed, I'm not saying they aren't hard working people, in my experience, in smaller stores, I'm not seeing a huge line of people waiting to apply to do business. I don't understand why any FFL would pass up an additional revenue stream afforded them under the law.of I could score 15 or 20 bucks off every legal gun transaction happening in my side of town, I think I would make the time to do the paperwork.
