Trading Reloaded 9mm

[Jodyrocks96]

Just posting a question. If you know someone who reloads ammunition, but doesn't have a license can you trade for ammo?

An old saying comes to mind: Never trust and never shoot reloads you did not reload yourself.

Thanks! I trust this person. I'm only interested in the legality of the transaction.

What license?
What legalities?
Who is watching/illegalizing all this?!?

I would assume an FFL Type 06 for manufacturing?

Selling remanufactured ammunition.

ATF? Not sure?

That's why I'm asking. Just in a
less paranoid manner.

Well, ok, I don’t know anything about FFL types, and I guess I don’t want to.
Lots of people reload, no one is considered a manufacturer just because they reload for themselves.

But as was stated above, I wouldn’t buy or sell any reloads. But certainly not for FFL reasons.

Some people and businesses go out of their way to get that license and learn the industry for a reason. If someone took the time to learn that trade and they were able to legally sell me reloads I believe I would use them fearlessly. What's the difference in buying from an individual with 5+ years experience and a bullet repacked by an online remanufacturing organization ? Eg. Freedumunitions
Green country
Buffalo cartridge

You ask some odd questions in interesting ways, my friend.

It's almost as if it were bait of some sort?

I always research first. It hasn't been brought up within a year per the search function and filter. Why would this even be considered bait? Just asking questions that I don't fully understand.

Comments like that make me question whether I should be posting at all. A simple yes it's legal or no would suffice.

Interesting that you would only look back a year. If there is nothing posted on the subject in the past year, wouldn't one guess that nothing has changed? Thus a search further back would be warranted?

It's called LIABILITY.

 

[ditcherman]

bw, you have lovely eyes.
I had no idea.

 

[ditcherman]

A simple yes it's legal or no would suffice.

if I tell you I think it’s legal because I just don’t know otherwise and don’t care to learn otherwise, but someone else tells you no, how are you ahead asking the general public on a forum?
You end up believing what you were predisposed to believe anyway.
We’re opinioers, not lawyers, mostly.

 

[Ziggidy]

I have a box of reloaded 9mm that a relative gave me for a birthday present many many years ago. It remains packed far away, untouched. I love the guy.....BUT......

 

[COOPADUP]

Had good success with certified reloaders such as Fenix, Freedom, and Buffalo.

I am sure there are clear laws against accepting payment for reman ammo when you have no FFL type 06. Simply put, is trading of equal value considered the same as selling in terms of legality. Not really any need for opinion here. I was looking for someone to have direct knowledge or experience.

Thank you! Freedom is a go-to for me for other ammunition but they currently have no 9mm. Buffalo has a very competitive price even after shipping costs are added.

A person can give you reloaded ammunition but it cannot be sold without proper FFL and taxes paid on it.

Is a person who reloads ammunition required to be licensed as a manufacturer? | Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives

Yes, if the person engages in the business of selling or distributing reloads for the purpose of livelihood and profit. No, if the person reloads only for personal use. [18 U.S.C. 922(a) and 923(a); 27 CFR 478.41]
