Hi Ryo, They did not give a reason. Just said ATF said they had to to do paper transfer. I don't know. The business name and location are the same. They said change of ownership with new FFL Yes strange, I have had a few over the years take that long. Don't understand the fact when it is going to a dealer. Except they did the transfer on a form 4. The gun is at the same address/location as business maintained name and location.

b_san, Thanks for the comments. Let me try to reduce the confused nature of the thread. 1. Sold MG to buyer in Ga. MG on a form 4 2. Buyer's dealer did not want direct transfer from me. 3. Buyer's dealer wanted transferred via a dealer in KY. 4. My long time dealer deceased. Reached out to a bigger city for a dealer to do transfer. 5. Transfer from me to this dealer in KY takes a year. 6. MG and transfer form delivered to KY dealer on the 19th of September 2020. 7. Buyer and I expecting this MG to be eform transferred to GA dealer. Expecting a 1-2 week time frame. This time frame is not met. 8 I email KY dealer. Story is business owners have changed, same business name but have new FFL. 9. KY dealer says they tried to eForm transfer from their old FFL to NEW FFL. 10 KY dealer says they can't do eForm transfer from their old FFL to New FFL. They say they have to do paper transfer and snail mail according to ATF. That communication was third week of October approximately. 11. Sent email to same person at KY dealer that I have been communicating with on this since the very start. No replies to my inquiries of any progress. This email was sent on 19th November.

I tried to get the Ga dealer to take transfer directly from me. For some reason they did not want to do this. My concern is the mess with the instate dealer and his old and new FFL. Just untrusting enough not to want to get scammed. The buyer has been a trooper through all of this. Once it gets to his Ga. dealers hands I will have done my part.

I am not an FFL. Yes the transfer has been approved to the old dealer business FFL. They are saying they have to transfer from old FFL number to new FFL number before they can transfer to dealer in Ga. No, they are in possession of the MG. When the transfer came through I took it and the transfer paperwork to them. I have not checked the FFL license to address.

Again I am not sure either. I suggested transferring to Ga dealer from myself but they seemed to not want to do this. Do you have an opinion on the Ky dealer trying to transfer to themselves due to old to new FFL? How long should this really take?

Riflejunky, this was at the request of the buyers dealer. Not really sure why. Just trying to comply with the request.

Hello, I am seeking opinion on the following scenario. I have collect and shot MGs since the late 80s. However over the last 7-8 years have kind of lost interest and started selling off my small collection. Unfortunately my local dealer who I dealt with all these years had passed away. So a Vickers that I sold to a good fellow down in Ga who wanted the gun transferred to his dealer in Ga. I had to find a new dealer to do the transfer. I found someone in another town. After contacting this business I started the transfer to them. This took a year. The gun and transfer form were delivered to this dealer by the middle of September. I was told after the delivery that the business had a new owner and thus a new FFL. They said they tried to electronically transfer from their old FFL to the new one. They said they couldn't do it electronically and had to go the snail mail and paper route. This has now been 2 months and when I last asked for an update I received no response. Is this a plausible scenario? The buyer has paid for the gun and I just want the transfer done to his dealer. Opinions? I don't want to appear accusatory but seems like a long time for transfer between old and new FFL numbers.

jake, this weapon is sold

Take a look at the 5th picture down. You can see where the release button should go.

Yes, gun is still for sale. In a part of the country with poor to no cell service at the moment. Will get back with you in a couple of days. Thanks
