how do i ship a rifle?

[zachseaman]

i want to ship my rifle to palm springs but i dont want to get into any trouble. how do i accomplish this?

[hcbr]

First and foremost where are you coming from? and if anything , is the rifled compliant to CA standard? you might want to look up the flowarchats on here.

Also is this a new or something you've had?

More details please, so you can help us out, in order to help you!

im from anaheim, ive had it for allittle over a year, and its ca compliant. theres a person over there whos interested. i know i probably would ship it to an ffl over there but im just not sure how to go about doing so

Unless it is over 50 years old you do have to ship it to a FFL who will do paperwork and transfer it to the buyer. You can mail it, or UPS or Fedex it.


You say someone is "interested". If this is not a for sure sale, there will still be FFL fees to pay. Do it with pictures if it is just to inspect.

for sure i wouldnt ship unless i knew for a fact he would buy it. they wont get crazy if i bring a gun in the ups office though?

Nor the post office or Fedex. Do put it in a box, wrapped well and unloaded.,

If you walk in carrying it pointed at them kicking the doors open and start screaming at them to wrap it up, yes they'll go crazy.

If you pack it up before you take it there, not a problem.

That would also mean don't pack it into a box, show up and go "psst, I've got a gun" to the cashier.
