levi littleton Posted November 22, 2020 Share Posted November 22, 2020 I have new 4 3/4 and 5.5" 38 Special, USFA, blue barrels. I would really like to have a 7.5 barrel. If you have a USA made 38 Special gun and would like to swap out your 7.5" barrel for a shorter one I can do that for you. I have an FFL so shipping is easy. Send me a PM if you are interested.

The Original Lumpy Gritz Posted November 22, 2020 Share Posted November 22, 2020 I thought only FFL to FFL can ship handguns via USPS. Might want to also post this in the classifieds. Good luck, OLG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Shapiro Posted November 22, 2020 Share Posted November 22, 2020 I had to read that post about 4 times to figure it out. It sounds like you're interested in the 7 1/2" barrel? And if someone has one with a 7 1/2 inch barrel that would like a shorter one, you'll swap that out? I'm still not clear on the offer here.

Don't think so. You better ck with BATFE. Last I heard, it was FFL to FFL only via USPS with handguns. OLG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But always best to confirm with BATFE (sounds like a great convenience store to me - alcohol, tobacco, firearms, and explosives. A great date night).

Based my remarks from about 2 years ago when I tried to ship a HG to Freedom Arms. The USPS said only a FFL holder can ship a HG and has to go the another FFL. They have the BATFE data base to confirm the FFL. Just as UPS and Fed-X does. Took the gun to a UPS hub and no issue to ship. OLG Q Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cholla Posted November 22, 2020 Share Posted November 22, 2020 If Levi is who I think he is, he should be able to state the letter of the law. Admittedly my experience was with a rifle, which appears to be different than a handgun. I did find this: https://www.pewpewtactical.com/how-to-mail-guns/ You can ship a firearm to a person in another state only if you ship it to an FFL holder in the destination state. That is, if you wish to transfer a firearm to a nonlicensee who resides in another state, you must ship the gun to an FFL holder in your recipient’s state. The FFL holder will release the firearm to the person once they’ve completed the ATF Form 4473 and NICS background check. Even if you are shipping a gun for repair, if your gunsmith is out-of-state, they must either hold an FFL themselves or receive your gun through someone who does.

WOLFY Posted November 22, 2020 Share Posted November 22, 2020 Can an ffl ship to themselves via USPS? Meaning can one license be used for sender as well as receiver? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zach Taylor,SASS#14359 Posted November 22, 2020 Share Posted November 22, 2020 One of the two must be an FFL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
