I need to send my POF MP5 receiver out to get engraved as a SBR. I understand that it is the serialized part of the gun, and is technically a pistol at this time, so I think that means it has to be shipped via UPS just like an AR lower. Is that correct? Just want to be clear before I ship and USPS is a lot more convenient so I would prefer to use them if possible.

Why ship? Do you not have any engraving shops local?

No, no local shops that I trust to do a neat and deep enough job. Ive sent AR lowers to member CS223 before with perfect results, so I'm going with him again for this one.

I'd contact the engraver, they'll probably know.

Legal and policy is different.

I'd recommend not going against policy because if they lose it you're SOL on insurance. And they will frown on it. Legalities consist of explosives, organic, body parts, compressed gas, batteries, etc.

Dealers can ship USPS in their policy.
