Very nice Mike, looking forward to finished pictures. Question, buying out of state and flying them in? I thought if you bought out of state you need an FFL to transfer to FL?

To my knowledge Pedro, you are correct for handguns only. If your state allows a long gun, then you can buy it anywhere.

As De said, that only applies to handguns.

Additionally, I have a Curio and Relics FFL (FFL03). Since both of the gun stores accepted my FFL03, filling out the background check form (4473) is not required. Curio and Relic licenses also work for out of state handgun purchases, provided the handgun is classified as a curio and relic.

Paid my money, traded paper copies of our FFLs, and I was out the door.

Flying with firearms is pretty easy, Depending on the airport, it adds 2 - 15 minutes to the check in process.

Just need a hard sided lockable case (Plano or Pelican) and a keyed padlock. Declare the firearm when you are checking the bag, fill out the declaration card that the firearm is unloaded and stick it in the case.

Depending on the airport, the ticketing person will tell you to either lock the case, or wait for TSA to inspect. In the end, you lock the case, and you hold on to the key.

At your destination, at least every time I have done this, they hand carry the case into the baggage claim area and drop it at the claim office for the airline. Had to show baggage claim ticket and photo ID to pick it up.
