Can a rifle be sold to someone in another state without an FFL?

What I mean is, can an individual give money to another for a rifle face to face, even if the rifle is coming from another state?

Curious since I found a rifle I might be interested in, but its in Oregon(and I live in Washington)....

I've read all the states and the ATF site and it still is confusing the hell outta me..

Right, thanks.

Another question. If this transfer does happen, does the fed have a record(as in the SN) of the weapon being transfered?
 
Yep. You will have to fill out the ATF form 4473 and the FFL will also have the number logged in his bound book.
 
Here ya go

This is staight from the ATF website:

(B1) To whom may an unlicensed person transfer firearms under the GCA? [Back]


A person may sell a firearm to an unlicensed resident of his or her state, if the buyer is not prohibited by law from receiving or possessing a firearm, or to a licensee in any state. A firearm other than a curio or relic may not be transferred interstate to a licensed collector. [18 U. S. C 922( a)( 3) and (5), 922( b)( 3), 27 CFR 178.29]



(B2) From whom may an unlicensed person acquire a firearm under the GCA? [Back]


A person may only buy a firearm within the person's own state, except that he or she may buy a rifle or shotgun, in person, at a licensee's premises in any state, provided the sale complies with state laws applicable in the state of sale and the state where the purchaser resides. [18 U. S. C 922( a)( 3) and (5), 922( b)( 3), 27 CFR 178.29]



(B3) 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? [Back]


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. [18 U. S. C 922( a)( 3) and (5), 922( b)( 3), 27 CFR 178.29]
