Regarding shipping, buyer pays Actual shipping Only, likely UPS.
If there is an alternative that is legal and less expensive that is fine. I've found USPS to be cheapest. And you can use the online shipping calculator to get a pretty close estimate on the price. I like UPS better due to the ability to track package better than USPS.

Thanks for the info folks, been quite some time I shipped a firearm. So USPS is ok with long guns?
Anyone shipped in the lower 48 to and from lately might have an idea what shipping runs. I was taking a guess earlier.

Anyone shipped in the lower 48 to and from lately might have an idea what shipping runs. I was taking a guess earlier. I've shipped numerous via USPS. Cost is dependent on to and from zip codes and weight and keep the total size (length + width + height) under 72" (I think that is number) or it jumps into oversize. I've never had a problem keeping it below that. USPS has a shipping cost estimator on their website. From zip code. To zip code. Enter weight and dimensions. And an estimate is given. I've used it and it's within a few bucks in my experience (as long as you give it a good weight). I add signature required, a few bucks extra, but it lets you know it's been delivered and signed by whom.

I’ve used fedex and had great luck. Usually $17-23 Way better tracking than USPS.

Not as much as I thought, thanks. Is the cost shipping handguns much higher? A premium?
Thanks folks.

Thanks folks. FedEx and ups say hand guns must be shipped overnight. USPS let’s FFL’s ship them, most will do so for about $20-25 I think.

Ok, the virus is dying.....and folks will be itching to get some time at the range and in the field.
Who is ready to chase paper, steel, prairie dogs, crows, and coyotes this Spring and Summer?
