6 months ago my brother visited me from Alaska and brought his 375 down for me to reload with for our upcoming kodiak bear hunt this spring.
The plan was for me to bring it back up on the plane when I flew up. Well..... with covid and everything else our hunt got canceled.
Now I have a rifle here I need to get back to him. Can I just ship it directly, since after all he is the owner? I would hate to tack on a transfer fee and bs fir a rifle he had had for years.

Yes, you can ship an item to yourself from one residence to another. He can be the shipper and receiver.

Send it direct to him, require a signature. He already owns it. It’s not being transferred. It the people at the post office ask what’s in the package, tell them it’s collectible baseball bats. Best way to ship is buy a cheap Plano gun case. It protects the rifle and you have a cardboard box that fits perfectly.

I NEVER let some postal dipshit know what I’m shipping, they’re about 12 IQ points below that of a slug and half as fast. 😁

If asked by a postal employee if it is a firearm the correct answer is yes. Don't be a dumbass. They are entitled to inspect it to assure it meets the regulations, long gun, unloaded, no ammo.
Can he mail it without being there? I don't know. Interesting question. Pre-labled with his info and you are just dropping it off? I'd do it.

I met more than a few Postal folks that are good, smart, decent and veterans, not dipchits.

Advocating to commit a gun crime on the internet is always interesting...

I've done it several times when I need to get stuff from property I own in CO to where I now live in TX. Nobody looks at the names. Advocating to commit a gun crime on the internet is always interesting... Nobody is advocating committing a crime. You can even send a firearm through the mail to get work done on it. No FFL required if it is not changing hands permanently. You can box up a gun, insure it and send it. Nothing illegal about it.
You get out of life what you are willing to accept. If you ain't happy, do something about it!

Sorry, but you are incorrect on several points relating to the OP's question. A person may ship a long gun from himself to himself either going from or returning home, no problem. In this case you are advocating the legality of one person shipping a long gun to another. It is illegal for a nonlicensee to do that. Nothing says anything about changing hands and in point of fact there is a change of hands if one person has something in his hands and sends it to another. Some states are enacting rules to make it illegal to loan a gun to another. I have said nothing about probability of getting caught as that is an entirely different question. It is illegal.

Not correct... they are absolutely NOT allowed to demand to check the firearm or package without PC. Imagine the liability of stating something was okay and finding it was not or vice versa... They are allowed to ask just the the questions about hazardous, flammable, etc.

Twintip,
I've had people visit for the purpose of hunting and they would send their gun to themselves from their home state.
And send their gun back to themselves from the state they were visiting.
If you are shipping the gun to somebody else and it's outside your state, you are breaking the law. Which I'm fine with, but be advised that it is illegal.
