The SP5K receiver is a firearm receiver and it is a pistol. As such it must be shipped as a firearm regardless of its stripped status. Calling it machine parts sounds cool, but if it gets lost in the mail, the shipper will not reimbursed your loss.

Ship UPS or FEDEX. It’s a handgun and only FFLs can ship handguns through USPS.

It will be cheaper to have an FFL ship it USPS.

USC (atf) and USPS rules are not the same. They have different definitions.
I ship everything certified mail if its a "gun" as UPS and fed ex will fuck you over |

USC (atf) and USPS rules are not the same. They have different definitions. A SP5K stripped is a firearm receiver (not a handgun). It is "capable of being concealed on the person", and thus cannot be shipped USPS unless FFL. https://pe.usps.com/text/pub52/pub52c4_008.htm |

I ship firearms fairly frequently. My local FedEx hub allows me to ship handguns regular “ground” if I separate upper slide/receiver from lower and ship separately and avoid the “next day air” BS.

Just an update, hopefully helpful to others.
I was able to ship it as a firearm receiver via UPS ground. I had to show them that it was an incomplete gun. I was honest that it was part of a pistol, but incapable of firing. |
