I am not a big fan of handing over ANY of my weapons to ANY carrier at any time. Unfortunately there comes a time when you have no choice, and you have to ship a weapon. Here is some good advice that someone gave me when using UPS to ship a weapon, parts or whole, I am surethat the same method can be used for any carrier: First of all, pack it yourself in a box, use plenty of protection. (Lot's of fine bubble wrap and duct tape to secure it around the reciever, with foam shavings in the box works very well.) Make sure you do not mark the box in any way,(Fragile etc...) just add a few of your address labels Inside the box before you seal it with packing tape, put one in the buttstock of the lower, or secure one to the stock with rubberbands. Put one on each side of the box on opposite ends, using wide clear tape to completely cover it and keep it legible during transit. Last but maybee the most important, insure it fully, but not as a weapon. Insure it as 'Machined Aluminum Parts' or 'Machined Aluminum Forgings' which is exactly what they are. If it is insured at UPS for a certain amount of money or over, sometimes they open it to inspect the contents. I think it is $1,500 or more. Anyway, your description of the contents is consistent with what they will see. I just used this method to ship my Bushy back to Mfg for repairs and I used UPS. Everything went smooth and I live in NY, one of the crime capitals of the USA. You should have no problem at all if you use this method.
