Shopping for a new spoon, FFL questions

So I'm looking for a new spoon. I'd like to try a .270. I borrowed one many many years ago when I started hunting and I liked the feel of the gun. So I'm shopping and the local penny rag that you could find used guns in is out of business when a buddy mentions Gunbroker.com.

So I go online and find almost 300 listings for a .270 bolt except every ad says it has to be shipped to a local FFL holder.

Do all guns in the USA have to go thru this routine now?


I check into this further and find any gun that is being exported has to go thru a exporters hands (Read start at $500 + for their fees) and paperwork has to go to the State Dept. I guess so that they would know if I was planning a revolt of the government up here without CIA approval.

The fees added to the cost of the gun are way too expensive for shooting bambi in the face this year. So it's back to using my .30-06 for this task.
