Walk in rack the bolt to empty the chamber, while yelling that you need to ship something.
My local PO outright refused since I was not a dealer. Even after they brought out a copy of the book.
As I said, they cannot refuse a legal shipment. They may be more stubborn than you, but in the end, the regulations are what they are.
With all due respect.... why do you say this? Why cant they refuse?
1.6 General Mailability and Right of Refusal
Articles presented for mailing must be prepared under the general and specific standards in this document. The USPS accepts properly packaged and marked parcels but reserves the right to refuse nonmailable or improperly packaged articles or substances. Additional or other standards can apply to overseas military Post Offices and international mail.
8.11 Refusal of Nonmailable Matter
USPS employees may refuse an article for mailing if the content of the article is described by the mailer or otherwise revealed to be nonmailable.
8.12 Authorizing Mailability
A postmaster may decide whether articles and substances other than written, printed, or graphic matter are nonmailable and, where appropriate, is authorized to refuse to accept for mailing such matter determined to be nonmailable. The mailer may seek a review of the postmaster's decision by the PCSC. The mailer may file a written appeal of the PCSC ruling with the USPS Recorder, Judicial Officer, with a copy or description of the determination or ruling. The rules of procedure for the determination of such appeals are in 39 CFR 953.

This seems to say they can refuse it and you have the right to appeal.
What if you use a firearms box to mail a pogo stick?It is a violation of Federal law to mark the outside of the box with anything that identifies the shipment as containing a firearm.

I know,it wasn't a serious question.:=)A pogo stick isn't a firearm. It's only illegal to mark the packaging as containing a firearm if it actually contains a firearm

Give it time. California, New York or New Jersey will make them firearms. It's only a matter of which state does it first.
They are only authorized to refuse to accept what is nonmailable. If they decide your rifle is nonmailable, then yes you can appeal their determination that it is nonmailalbe. I would have to dig further, butI think there is a way to expedite the appeal process.PHP:
