He needs to send all of them to an FFL in your state, assuming you have an FFL that will accept transfers from private parties, otherwise he needs to go to an FFL in NY and they ship to your VA FFL. Then you pick them up from the your VA FFL, after you pay the fee and get the NICS check.
But since we don't require registration of fire arms here in VA, a deal between private parties shouldn't have to go through an FFL.... but that in only if he comes down here to VA for the transfer. I just want to make sure he is covered on his side.

sure it does, because it's between states.
If you were both in NY only the pistol would go thru the FFL

Interstate transfers MUST go through a FFL, no way around it.

the question appeared to what paperwork his friend in NY would need on his end. That paperwork by county is different to take a pistol off. right? sending anything over state lines is a seperate issue.

I understand the pistols but are you saying long guns too?
What if I drove down on a hunt with my buddy in VA. He loved my Remington 700. I couldn't sell it to him?

Q: May an unlicensed person obtain a firearm from an out-of-State source if the person arranges to obtain the firearm through a licensed dealer in the purchaser's own State?
A person not licensed under the GCA and not prohibited from acquiring firearms may purchase a firearm from an out-of-State source and obtain the firearm if an arrangement is made with a licensed dealer in the purchaser's State of residence for the purchaser to obtain the firearm from the dealer.

It has nothing to do with registration. A private sale in your state would be good to go. All interstate transfers must go through an FFL. It's also against the law to ship firearms interstate from a non-FFL to a non-FFL.

HYPOTHETICAL QUESTION~~~~~~THIS ONLY A DRILL~~~~~~~DO NOT PANIC ~~~~~~THIS IS ONLY A HYPOTHETICAL SITUATION
So lets say someone owns a 30 or 40 or 50 year old rifle and they travel to Virgina on a hunt. The guys he/she is hunting with admire the weapon and one of them offers he/she a monetary sum for said rifle. so now that someone sells said rifle to that guy and comes home without the rifle?
The weapon was never registered in NYS, Va does not require the weapon to be registered?
I guess what Im asking is, if no one has ever registered the weapon, how would anyone in government know the thing even existed or there was ever a transfer?????
Now that I think about it, I wonder how many times a day something like this actually does occur ????
REMEMBER, IM JUST ASKING TO FOR CLARIFICATION (thanx for understanding)
