While visiting my parents I came across a nice little stash of ammo that I forgot about. I was wondering what I'd have to do to mail it back to my home in Nevada. I would shoot it all here in Ohio but all the ammo is for weapons that are back at my house. Could I just take it to the post office or the UPS store and mail it. All it is is a SA battle pack of 7.62, some .30 cal carbine and some Wolf 7.62x39, and some assorted pistol and .22 LR ammo. I think the total is around 1000 rounds total. just enough to fill a .50 can. What do you think folks? Could I mail this stuff home? Any insight you guys could provide would be greatly appreciated.

Send it by UPS. Mark package correctly per UPS/ATF requirements. Should be no issues.

US mail will not take ammo. You could ship it UPS but have to do so from a UPS customer service center, not a UPS store. The UPS stores are franchises and not direct UPS as is required.

By the way if you get caught mailing ammo through the US postal service you can kiss your guns and your freedom good bye

Just sneak it on the airplane they won't know.

I like the way you think.

My local UPS Store happily shipped a Bushmaster M17 back east to a FFL for a private party sale/transfer. No problem.
