I am purchasing a rifle from Texas and I am in Michigan, I have my C&R and am wondering, can he ship it straight to me or do we need to go through a FFL dealer out of Texas?? He has had problems in the past with USPS. What would be the best method of shipping for him? To make it easier on him and me. I am pretty sure that he can ship directly to me with a copy of my C&R, I read it here on a forum, am I correct?? Thanks for the help... Phil

I may not be completely sane, but at least I don't think I have the power to influence the weather grog101.forumco.com/active.asp www.GBOCannons.com www.homegunsmith.com/cgi-bin/ib3/ikonboard.cgi

Yes, he can ship it directly to you. An FFL dealer would only be necessary to receive and transfer a weapon if you didn't have a C&RFFL. I use Fed-Ex Ground whenever I ship a weapon. They only ask to be sure that it's going to a license holder and that it's unloaded.

I guess its where you live and who you deal with..................the WORST for us here is Fed Ex Ground. Of course living in PA makes most USPS employees here 'bitter gun owners' too, so they know how to get the job done !!! Long live the Swedish Mauser!!

I use the same post office and have never had a problem shipping a rifle. But, I shipped one to Velvetnsteel last week and the guy I usually get was on break. The one I had to see was not up on the regs at all. I had to assure him that it was the receiver that had to have the FFL not the sender. He still had to look it up in the book.
