[QUOTE="8x68s, post: 2853503, member: 109828"] Firearms sold to an individual must be received by an FFL who runs a federal background check on the individual to whom the firearm has been sold. [U]Some states[/U] require a firearm sold from individual to individual be transported only thru an FFL on both ends. Firearms may not be shipped directly to an individual except in the case the firearm was initially shipped to a gunsmith or repair facility from the owner. UPS will no longer ship firearms or firearm parts. FFL holders that register with UPS get a waiver. Firearms can be shipped by USPS and Fedex. I don't know the regulations that Fedex imposes (haven't used them). USPS shipping costs are based on weight and package dimensions. Most, if not all FFL's require a copy of the sender's driver's license or i.d. to be sent with the firearm. If I remember correctly, hand guns are required to ship overnite. Beware shortcutting any of the reg's as the penalties are federal crimes and costly to your life in in the real world! This info is by no means complete and I hope others will chime in where I've missed something. p.s. The last rifle I shipped halfway across the country by USPS cost about $65... [/QUOTE]
