Tell the clerk to check Section C024 of the Domestic Mail Manual. It is perfectly legal for an individual to mail any rifle or shotgun to an FFL. If they mention filling out forms or that you have to be a dealer, tell them that is only for handguns.
Let us know how it turns out. |

USPS Publication 52
Not only can you mail a long gun to a dealer in another state or in your own, you can also mail a long gun to any private individual legally able to posses such firearm as long as he resides within your own state. Check it out here: ATF FAQs Remember "licensee" in ATF-speak means FFL holder. |

I would not use Publication 52 as a reference. It has a few errors in it just like the BATF FAQ's have some. Use the Domestic Mail Manual, which is the official guide to the Postal regulations. Publication 52 is a consumer guide. |

Strange thing happend to me recently. I have shipped long rifles with no problems before with the USPS. But this last time they asked me to write on the outside of the box that the gun was not loaded, and they asked me to sign it. I did this so I could get it in the mail, but I mentioned to the clerk that I have never had to do this in the past, and I was concerned that such writing may tip off a thief as to what was in the box. They said this is the was it is.
Anyone have any insight into this "requirement"? - Snacko |

Tell them to read their own regulations. They can require you to demonstrate that the gun is unloaded or ask you to make a written certification but it is prohibited to mark the outside of the package. C024 Other Restricted or Nonmailable Matter Summary C024 describes other restricted or nonmailable items (e.g., firearms, sharp instruments, controlled substances, pesticides). ..................................... 6.0 PROHIBITED PARCEL MARKING For any parcel containing a firearm or a ballistic or switchblade knife, any marking that indicates the contents is not permitted on the outside wrapper or container. |

One off the top of my head is the definition of an antique firearm. The wording and punctuation in Publication 52 indicates that they cannot use currently manufactured ammunition. The Domestic Mail Manual correctly defines an antique firearm and indicates that only replicas of antique firearms are restricted in the type of ammunition. |

And the fact that all state laws are not the same and if you give advice it should be noted that you're talking about the fed law and your own state laws and that their state law may vary.
