Howdy Folks, I just want to ask if there are any special laws and regulations on shipping rifle to a buyer in Alaska. I will appreciate any input. God Bless!

Nope. Just be sure to put a copy of your drivers license with it so the receiving FFL has your info for his books.

Any U.S. state to any U.S. state, FFL to FFL, no problem.

There is no drivers license requirement for the shipper, and there are no such things in federal law. There is no way for the receiving FFL to verify any of that information and it is simply something to be recorded in the bound book...

Really??? This has been posted a million times here. There is NO requirement for FFL to FFL on long guns and the OP clearly stated "rifle." Anyone can legally ship a long gun to an FFL in any state.

I ran into an issue in CA, where I had to ship a shotgun FFL to FFL. There are states and then there are states... DF

CA is different in that an FFL shipping to an FFL in CA must register with CA. How CA figures they have that authority is beyond me. Especially because anyone can legally (under federal and CA law) send a long gun to a CA FFL!
Nothing seems to get in the way of many FFLs that want to make their own freaking rules!

A few months back, I sold a Shotgun to someone in CA and it did not need to be sent from a FFL. Got the info from a CA gov't site. If it comes from a FFL, they need to do extra paper work like registering themselves or at least the transaction.

The FFL I dealt with in CA told me his BATF representative told him to do it that way. And, this guy is a SASS cowboy action shooter. So, the buyer wanted to use him and I did as he directed. I know it was a lot more trouble.

DF BATFE rep should not ever be telling a dealer how to comply with State rules and regulations. It is not their business and as long as it is legal they should absolutely stay out of it. Struck that clause as I had first written it because it is not their call to make a legal judgement on.

Well I was surprised.
Started out asking the CA FFL to send me a copy of his license so I could ship a shotgun to his client thru him. He got a bit huffy and started in on was I an FFL. Well I had been in years past, not now.
Anyway, we finally got it solved, but it took a bunch of BS. My local FFL said he doesn't deal with those guy out there. I can see why some refuse to ship guns to CA. Guess I was naive, thinking CA was another U.S. state, subject to the same Federal regulations as the rest of us.

I've run into the "I can't ship a gun out of the country."
I then explained that Alaska was indeed a state.
He then replied "What if it's on a plane, flying over Canada"

There are 50 states. There are 49 continental states. There are 48 contiguous states. Alaska is the three largest states...........uh, larger than the next three combined....

Isn’t that why only Alaskan citizens are issued passports at birth?

Ok, I got one. Traveling through Canada, I realize I can't bring my handgun. Can I ship it to a PO, in say, TOK, "general" delivery to me? I show up at the PO, ask for my package, and show my ID.

google be your friend, well to find those regs
google be your enemy too
I'm pretty certain when we sing our anthem and mention the land of the free, the original intent didn't mean cell phones, food stamps and birth control.
