Firearms shipping question

[scotty1418]

I was under the impression that you had to declare it was a firearm with the USPS. So this is untrue?

(And to think of all the time I've spent explaining the rules to the USPS employees!)

It is one of those damn if you do and damned if you don't situations. If you do not declare it they will not honor the insurance.

I am shipping an original MP40 receiver for repair on Monday and you can bet I will tell them what's in the box in case it is damaged. NFA firearms are shipped registered mail only.
