tover26 18 Posted July 23, 2009 Report Share Posted July 23, 2009 I have a question. I've gone through these links and couldn't find this... - If I have a service, warranty, or gunsmith need and send my gun to them, I can do this if complying with the rules outlined above. - When they ship it back to me, since I already own it... would they ship it directly back to me, or would it still need to go through an FFL? I'm curious. I've got a gun in with a local gunsmith, but if that doesn't work out, I'd need to send it off to someone that could nail the issue. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The law allows for direct shipments back to the owner, after a repair. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
vbrtrmn 167 Posted July 23, 2009 Report Share Posted July 23, 2009 The law allows for direct shipments back to the owner, after a repair. Thanks nalioth, I was curious about that as well. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tover26 18 Posted July 25, 2009 Report Share Posted July 25, 2009 Yeah Nailoth, thanks for the fast reply. I just did an FFL and it was a major pain in the ass. The thought of having to do this every single freaking time I might want to get a good and well-qualified gun smith was making me a bit crazy since all the regs seem to focus on the sales transaction and transfer of ownership. Appreciate it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
paprotective 362 Posted July 25, 2009 Report Share Posted July 25, 2009 Some 'smiths' won't ship directly back and make you use a FFL holder (as they want to be safe).. But if the price is RIGHT for the services the $35 or so for the Xfer/NICS (again) won't kill you. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

nsa400wife 27 Posted January 3, 2011 Report Share Posted January 3, 2011 I was told USPS would ship a gun owned by you, from you, to a new location, without Ammo in the case. Is this true? Or do I have to go thru the red tape of using a broker with and FFL if I already own the item outright Blue card and all? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Peckaldee 12 Posted May 23, 2011 Report Share Posted May 23, 2011 What about parts including the FCG, bolt and carrier? Just the internals and nothing else. Seems to me anything but the receiver or parts with a serial number are ok to ship without all the redtape. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MAAnew 162 Posted June 22, 2011 Report Share Posted June 22, 2011 You can ship anything, but the actual firearm through UPS, FedEX, or USPS. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bigdaddyhatty 65 Posted March 14, 2012 Report Share Posted March 14, 2012 (edited) I have never shipped a firearm. I was thinking of selling a few C&R Rifles online. From what I understand from the info here and the UPS website, the Next Day Air only applies to handguns. I called UPS customer center to verify it and they told me if I was shipping a rifle it had to be Next Day Air. I called again a few days later and emphasized I wasn't shipping a handgun and they said it had to ship Next Day Air. Is that right?!?!

MAAnew 162 Posted July 4, 2012 Report Share Posted July 4, 2012 If you take it to a UPS retail counter, they will ship it as long as you have the FFL in hand. If they refuse to do it, ask to speak to the manager and they will approve it. I have never shipped a firearm. I was thinking of selling a few C&R Rifles online.

Spikester 93 Posted August 16, 2014 Report Share Posted August 16, 2014 Tried to ship a shotgun to a FFL in another state yesterday with USPS. They refused and said only FFL can mail guns. I went to UPS hub and had no problems. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
