[QUOTE="Greywolf18, post: 439752, member: 14172"] I've recently done both and what some have already said is true, at least here in NC. For some reason UPS would NOT allow me to ship a firearm, not even an AR-15 upper that you can order from a sporting goods company without an FFL. I've sent both of mine via FedEx without any issues. If you send it to a gunsmith you do not need to use a FFL. If you are selling a long gun it must be shipped to a FFL dealer. You do NOT need to ship from a FFL dealer UNLESS it is a handgun. I sold a gun (an extra SKS I had) and just used FedEx and shipped it to his gun dealer who had a FFL and they did all the paperwork. I did call them and verify who they were to ensure it was a legit business. I did that just for some peace of mind, it was a friend so I wasn't too worried about it but you can never be too careful. Every time I've sent the rifle in a cheap plastic case and then put in the cardboard box the rifle case came in and have never had any problems. I would suggest doing insurance and signature required. [/QUOTE]
