Due to the main focus of this site on the collecting and shooting
of C&R and military surplus firearms in their collectible original configurations,
sporterizing topics (ex. "how-to sporterize", or "hey, check out my cool sporter") will not be permitted in these fourms.

I want to ship a non C&R firearm to the factory for repair work. Since I have an FFL (even though it is a C&R) may I use the USPS Flat rate priority mail or am I stuck using UPS overnight. If this is allowed, what documentation do i need to provide the post office?

An 03-C&R is not permitted to use USPS for handguns. Long-guns are another story. A non-licensee (common citizen) can ship a long gun to a manufacturer for a repair, via the USPS, and the manufacturer can ship it directly back to him, without needing to go through any FFL at all. If it's a handgun, your only choices are UPS-NextDay or FedEx OverNight. (the lower-cost 2nd-Day, and Ground are not allowed for handguns). These shipping rates are so high that it might be cheeper to get an 01-Dealer in your area to ship it for you via the USPS. Pay the dealer the USPS Priorty-Mail fee, along with another $20 for his time & trouble, and you'll come out about half the cost of using UPS or FedEx. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- What part of "shall not be infringed" don't you understand?

I have an 03 license,by the way. Are the rules different for sending and receiving? Collecting (fill in the blank) is a disease with no cure. You can only treat the symptoms by buying more. ha ha

Keep in mind, the restriction on shipping handguns is NOT a federal BATFE reg, but is a federal USPS established regulation. At any rate, you did not violate the reg, SARCO did. -Bean --------------------------------------------------------------------------- What part of "shall not be infringed" don't you understand?

I would think Sarco would know the rules, but I am glad to get the pistol anyway. They only charged me $17 for shipping by the way. Collecting (fill in the blank) is a disease with no cure.
