Shipping Rifle Action

[Raydee]

I have a couple actions that I am selling, as a NY slave am I able to ship them directly to an out of State FFL as long as they will accept from a private party or do I have to ship them through my FFL?

Yes, any non-licensee (you) may send any firearm (or serial numbered receiver/frame) to ANY Dealer (FFL) including out of NYS. The receiving dealer needs to identify who he's getting the gun/action from, most will accept a copy of your Drivers Licenses...best to give them a call first and ask what they want from you with it. SOME DEALERS are peckerwoods and want it to come from another Dealer, and that's their prerogative, but not Law.

If you find a shipper willing to take them from a private individual please let me know.

USPS Will accept guns (not liquid, fragile, or hazardous).
UPS and FedEx will if you have an account and either hand off/driver pick up or you take it to the Hub....at least they did.
Shipping Pirate is said to be a good source.
Dealer friend of mine does strictly internet uses UPS exclusively, sends 20~30 packages a day...NEVER a question or hassle.

How would a shipper even know a rifle action was being shipped or does that have to be disclosed?

Better go find a FFL.

Yes they will ask you what is in it when you ask for additional insurance. When I responded gun parts the UPS store wanted nothing to do with it. I told them it was just parts and nothing with a serial number or that’s controlled and they said we don’t care and you have to go to the main hub. The main hub took it no problem. Not sure how others will handle it but I know fwd ex is the same.

Selling a gun secretly to avoid FFL's is a bad idea.......................X-ray machines can, and do ID guns, as boxes are scanned for contraband.

Well its being shipped directly to an FFL that is ok with the transfer to the new owner. I have no problem declaring what is in the box.

FFL has to send a copy of his FFL to you, in order to ship it with most shippers, even for repair.

You can't just ship a gun, willy nilly in secret, to avoid the FFL.....................but good luck.

I plan to ship to a licensed FFL that will accept the action from a private party. I know my FFL here will not accept an action or even ammo unless it comes from another FFL but it seems in other (Free) States that is not always the case.
