Since building my SML, the TC Omega has been permanently retired so plan to sell. I’m thinking I can mail through USPO and shipping CONUS insured would run about $40. Does that sound correct?

I just shipped a GPR to Virginia from Colorado and it was $44 priority mail insured.
Cool, thanks, sounds like I’m in the ballpark then...

So what is your Omega, and how much?
And yeah, most ML's I've seen it runs $20-40 depending on location.

Long gun MLs okay, handguns not.

I shipped two in one box!

I wasn't aware of that. USPS reg or what? No flame, just seeking education.
Thanks.
It’s a SS thumbhole camo. Turns out I mentioned selling it at work two days ago and a coworker agreed to buy it on the spot for $200. Guess I should have more asked more LOL. Just glad he’ll put a great gun back into service.

I ordered a short Pedersoli rifle from Dixie Gun Works yesterday and shipping was only 16 bucks. It just gave prices, I don't know the carrier. TN to PA, not too far.
I usually expect 30/40 bucks when I ship a long gun.

To the best of my recollection (!), the regs forbid anything that can be "concealed". I spent considerable time looking stuff up and conferring with my local P.O. before I shipped the rifles I sold. ML handguns can be shipped by other carriers.
