Chit I've sent homemade adult beverages through the mail several times, never had them ask me what it was. I have also sent other stuff.... that might be firearms related.

No "What's in the box?", no "Is this a gun?" nothing of that sort at all. Everything just the was it's supposed to be.

Nice to live in a little town in the West. grin


Same experience I have here in New York.

I always tell them it's machined parts.

Funny to hear the locals speculate on what's in the box. The last one I shipped, honest-to-God, one of them said "that could be a gun."

Rexburg Idaho post office used to demand I give them a copy of the FFL I was sending it to and then they would kept the copy. I argued with them then they would take it all in the back and make some calls as they would say. I just started taking them to Rigby.

I have shipped multiple firearms using First Stop in Rapid City. $25 for handguns, $40 for long guns and they do the packing and assume the risk. Money well spent.

Don’t you sign a paper saying what’s not in the box ?

I seem to remember something about ammo for sure but don’t recall if ‘machine tools ‘ were listed.
