Go to your local post office.
Either show up with your stuff wrapped in a box and pay to ship, or buy a priority flat rate box.
Make sure you have the right address.
Ship.

Is that what you meant?

put it in a box, put an address in indiana on it, bring it to your favorite shipper, pay them. you don't need a degree in shipology.

you ship it just like anything else, its not an actual weapon. if they ask, its "sporting equipment".

"Replica" also suffices. Did you know that AR furniture cannot be shipped by UPS? Went to ship a LaRue rail system, and the guy said no firearms parts. I told him it was a replica (which it was), and he said that was ok.

i usually ship intact. get a big box, put the gun in and fill it with packing peanuts. that or put the gun in its original box and then put that in another box.

jester, it looks like some of the third party mailing stores and UPS stores wont do guns, but according to the UPS site they will ship firearms

Weird. All I know is what the guy packing the item up told me (he's also the store manager).

Bought a replica from a guy up in seattle a while back and he just wrapped it like a present and shipped it that way. UPS delivered it like any other package.

This is the info I got when I shipped a DBOYS ak74 back to Evike via UPS. When I told the nice lady it was a BB gun she told me that individual shipping sights have to have their own FFL to ship firearms. I told her that it was classified as a toy and she shipped it.
