    Many & varied
    Hypothetical:
    Say you're a high-end firearm company building $2k rifles. Say you want to get the word out about your products and reach a new market segment. Say you're considering developing a more affordable, entry-level line to bring in new customers. Say you want to make a splash with the younger tactical crowd but also deliver to the $80k+ household income bracket. What kind of products would you focus on? Rifle components? Bolt action? M4? Chintzy merch?

    As long as the gun you are transferring is legal in that other state you can have an FFL in your state transfer it to an FFL in the state you are transferring it to. But it has to be FFL to FFL I believe, meaning you can't send it direct to an FFL in that state.

    Some FFL will also accept firearms from private parties. So ask the receiving FFL If they will accept a firearm directly from you. I have sent plenty of firearms straight from Fedex UPS etc to the receiving Party’s FFL. Just need a clear copy of the sellers Drivers License in the box.

    Focus on QC above all else. No bigger death knell in the firearms industry than being known to put out crap that doesn't work.

    Than any local FFL should take care of you. Most will package, ship, and insure for not too bad of price. $40 typically for handgun or around $50-60 for a rifle. All depends on your location too. I just box the stuff up myself and ship it to its FFL location.

    Should be fine unless you live in a state where you have to register your firearm through the state like NY and pay to have it removed from the registry in order to sell it out of state. If you are in Tennessee you should be able to sell it to any state where the firearm is legal. Just watch out for NY, CA, CT, and MA. Those states have regulations against specific firearms and magazine capacities.

    Right. I think you'd have to take it to an FFL in state A and have them transfer to state B.

    10-4. If the FFL in state B if they will do that, more power to them. Having worked for a gun shop, wouldn't touch that with a 10' pole. No paper trail of how that item got to my state. Not worth the risk during an ATF audit.

    going to be fun!
    If I am not mistaken the answer is yes anyone who can legally possess a firearm in their home State can sell it to an FFL in another State as long as the State FFL dealer receiving the firearm does not have restrictions Cali,NY,NJ etc:

    Looks awesome man. I want to do the basketweave on my 23. I already did the shooter's undercut myself, but I attempted stippling some spare a2 grips I had and I was never happy with the consistency of the pattern. I might try again, but for now the undercut made a huge difference in comfort.
