Personal sale of AK with folding stock

Post by cleveoh »

If you are selling from your personal collection, (not a firearm dealer) to another person (who also is not a firearm dealer), do you have to do an FFL transfer on an AK with a folding stock? I have found mixed ideas about this. Please provide some supportive evidence if available.

Thanks in advance.

In addition, no dealer shall sell, rent, trade or transfer from his inventory any assault firearm to any person who is not a citizen of the United States or who is not a person lawfully admitted for permanent residence. To establish citizenship or lawful admission for a permanent residence for purposes of purchasing an assault firearm, a dealer shall require a prospective purchaser to present a certified birth certificate or a certificate of birth abroad issued by the United States State Department, a certificate of citizenship or a certificate of naturalization issued by the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services, an unexpired U.S. passport, a United States citizen identification card, a current voter registration card, a current selective service registration card, or an immigrant visa or other documentation of status as a person lawfully admitted for permanent residence issued by the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services.

No, you do not. Private sales among VA citizens do not require a FFL transfer on either parties side.

It makes no difference what kind of stock your AK has, it's just a semi-auto rifle in Virginia. Private firearms sales between two Virginia residents is perfectly legal.

However, VA law does require that before you sell any AK-pattern rifle you must email me with the offer first. Just in case I need another one :friends:
