So you have to be a FFL to ship a handgun with the USPS (legally) - otherwise it has to go next day air with UPS or similar. But if I'm holding a valid C&R FFL, would that make me eligible to ship USPS? I have a custom Springfield Armory XDM that I'm about to put up for sale and would love to not have to restrict my sale to local deals.

Nope, you have a collectors license, not a license to deal in firearms. Especially since you are not shipping a C&R gun http://pe.usps.com/text/pub52/pub52c4_009.htm |

C&R rifle ok via USPS (2nd air only) Any non NFA rifle may be sent USPS, and the 2nd day air is optional (recommended). I've done this before (mailed to a FFL in another state) and had no issues with the USPS. I did find a page on the USPS website that does answer my initial question above. I didn't think this would be specifically outlined, but it is in 12.1.1 https://about.usps.com/postal-bulletin/2011/pb22321/html/updt_001.htm |
