Got this Speed Six for Christmas

bvd1 · Jan 1, 2018

I worked as a carpenter and retired last year. I have been helping a good friend with some projects on his house and will not accept any pay since I enjoy doing it and it keeps me busy. He bought this years ago and gave it to me for Christmas since he knows I like the six series. Just need to get to an FFL to do the transfer and he said he will pay the transfer fee. Ruger catalog number GS 82, .38 special only in excellent condition with original box and papers.

Just curious, why?

Can't transfer a handgun in Pa. without a background check and must be transfered through an FFL or Sheriff. I believe this is the case in most states.

That's certainly correct in PA and I also think it's true nearly everywhere else for handguns. Here, long guns can be transferred face-to-face with no FFL requirement.

The only non-FFL handgun transfer I believe you can make legally is parent to child and probably spouse to spouse.

That's a shame. Face-to-face, in-state transfers between those legal to own guns are still legal here in SC.

That is the same in the West, with the exception of California, Oregon, and I think Washington. Transfers are not required, in face to face transactions.

Hey good for you! Those are my favorite of the Six Series. Lord knows you'll never wear it out and that one looks mighty new.

That's a great present - even better than a Red Ryder 200 shot range model air rifle!!

Nice Ruger and a great Christmas present there!

Why don't you just ship it to me and then when you and your friend have a chance to come up to State College I'll do the transfer and BGC for you

That's a great-looking vintage wheelgun. Congrats

Right handsome Six your friend bestowed on you. One of those is one my short list of purchases.

Definitely NOT the case in most states, including here in Florida.

Super nice. 3" ?

Sweet!

Love those Sixes!! The penultimate double action revolver. Wasn't the GS-82 made for a government agency?

Interestingly enough, ftf transfers are still legal in IL of all places. You have to use the online portal thing to validate the buyers FOID card but you don't need an FFL to perform the transfer.
