I have a friend that has his FFL. If the deal works out I might see if he will drive over with me.
Can you meet on the Indiana side of the state line and do the transaction there?
The transaction will have to be completed at the address of the FFL-holder (unless at a gun show).
We made the deal, he's agreed to ship it to my FFL. Got a really nice Marlin 1894 44mag JM gun made in 1992.
