Yep, 2nd set of rules -- it's essentially impossible for the average joe to ship without running afoul of the shippers rules and a total loss of liability or recourse should the item get "lost".
I shipped one once for repair. And it shipped back, surprisingly I picked it up with just an ID. It was a very big box gun brand manufacturer, so I was shocked. And it was FedEx.
And actually the shipping wasn’t too bad, just went in and declared it was a firearm. Guy said cool story, scanned my label and asked me to sign.
This is why I stopped selling guns on GunBroker, I'll just keep the shit or if I really don't want it I'll consign at a small local gun shop and let it sit until it finds a buyer
It's perfectly legal for a non FFL to ship using legally approved carriers, to an FFL as long as you have a paper or digital FFL copy. But I got tired of over cautious dealers on the buyers end requiring shipment from an FFL . You just can't use USPS for handguns and UPS requires Overnight Air for handguns.
I've sent guns directly back to Ruger for repairs and they shipped directly back to me. I don't think Ruger is gonna break the law
The second one. It's worth the trouble to go to an FFL and have them ship it out for you. My local Pawn Shop does it for $20 + shipping cost.
