Mailing an "other"

[burrhead]

I have several new stripped AR lowers. Is it legal for me, a non-FFL, to use the USPS to mail one to a FFL since it is neither rifle nor handgun?

If it has a serial # it's a gun. If it could be a pistol, which a stripped lower could be, I wouldn't chance it.

I wouldn't use the USPS for any firearm. Spend the extra cash and do UPS or FedEx.

USPS only allows licensed dealers and manufacturers to mail a firearm other than a rifle or shotgun.

Firearm frames, receivers and AR lowers are firearms and capable of being concealed on the body.......therefore mailable only by licensed dealers and manufacturers.

The good news is...............they aren't handguns. Which means they can be shipped via UPS Ground or FedEx Ground.
