I sold a WWII dated P-38 handgun to someone. Now I need to ship it to them. He is going to get his FFL to send me some paperwork and/or license to me so I can ship it through the USPS to the FFL. Is this possible? Do they have some form or something to let me ship a handgun USPS?
I know I could ship it next day through FedEx or UPS, but at – that is a bit extreme and would like to ship through the USPS priority for -.
I have a C&R license but that only allows me to recieve C&R firearms. I know where several FFLs are in my area but after fees just me sending it though UPS/FedEx to his FFL is cheaper. I was just hoping that his I would be able to mail to his FFL through the USPS because of some paperwork or something that his FFL can send me. (This is what he seemed to say could happen though I had never heard of it before.)
You need a dealer FFL to ship USPS. But the guy who bought the P-38 said I could (I didn’t think so but wanted to make sure).
Shipping piece by piece would work until you got to the frame or is it the slide, or both? What ever part of the handgun that is legaly considered the weapon. That you could not mail unles you are a FFL. But triggers, barrels, sears, grips, ejectors, etc. can be sent by anyone to anyone.
