Shipping gun parts

[rhino400]

I am just wondering what gun parts can legally be shipped via USPS. The parts I need to ship are a rifle barrel, rifle stock, and trigger assembly. Can all of those be mailed without getting an FFL involved?

Thats what I thought. Figured I should verify my thinking though. My brain is notorious at getting me in trouble.

You can also ship a firearm to a FFL dealer, gunsmith (with FFL) or manufacturer without going through an FFL on your end.

All the AR15s I have built were from parts shipped directly to me minus the lower receivers.

I think that official USPS policy is that they will ship parts. But I have had USPS employees ask what i was shipping and they wouldn't ship it because i said they were gun parts. Basically they didn't know what their policy was or what i was shipping. They heard the dirty "g" word and freaked out.

i told them it was a barrel and she didn't blink an eye....

FYI, you are not supposed to ship gun parts in or outside of the United States though.
