[QUOTE="Hirschkopf, post: 4141929, member: 50724"] While recently on Oahu, we visited several friends we always see when we return; I was the Schofield Barracks veterinarian 30ish years ago. One is a widow of a friend who died in 2007. This widow has an intracranial tumor that she thinks is going to kill her soon, so she's starting to get affairs in order. She said I could have her late husband's firearm collection. I basically agreed to take them the next time I visit. From what I could see, the gun display cases (crapola piled in front of them and 15 years of dust) largely contain lever-action rifles. I envision working with an Oahu firearms dealer to pre-arrange purchase of packing materials for that many rifles, hopefully an estate-rate transfer fee, and using their expertise to pick a shipper to send a crate to an Arizona FFL-holder. It might also be good to draft a gift receipt for the widow to sign. If anybody has experience acquiring a large firearm collection across state lines (or an ocean) please shine some light on how to avoid surprises. I have no clue what I'll do with 50 more rifles. Perhaps I'll buy a new safe for the best and sell the rest. Mahalo! [/QUOTE]
