Shipping a rifle stock to sweden?

Can I ship a rifle stock to sweden without being an FFL, or an exporter?
If so, can I also ship magazines?

Thanks to anyone who can help.

    Is a rifle stock considered a firearm?
    seems eBay sellers ship them all day long.
    Same with magazines.

    Gun stock is no problem. Magazines might be a problem and capacity of them might be what matters. I used to have an internet sight where I believe your questions could be answered but am unable to find it right now. I'm quite sure someone here will be able to give you the answer.

    From the USPS website:

    Country Conditions for Mailing - Sweden

    Prohibitions

    Arms and weapons.

    Daggers and flick knives.

    Firing caps and charged metal cartridges for small arms and artillery fuses.

    Human remains.

    Live plants and animals.

    Lottery tickets and advertisements concerning lotteries.

    Radioactive materials.

    Spider: I don't think a rifle stock is a weapon.
    Sure you could hit someone with it, you could also suffocate someone with clear packing tape.
    I am going to pick the local postmasters brain tomorrow on this subject.

    If you are going to pick his brain, bring a set of tweezers. He may be one of the nice ones, but that is the most noncommital group I have yet to encounter.

    ah, he is not to bad.
    I tryed to mail an empty keg of beer once, he got a kick out of it.
    Did you know it is against the law to possess a beer keg in NY?

    Serious business.
    This state B-lows

    I have found, and it seems to be universal, that mentioning the word "rifle", even if followed by "stock", will get the postal teller/postmaster's panties all in a wad. Seems, I'd say, 80-90% of them don't know their own regs. on the matter. I finally found one that does and maybe yours does too, but you can usually waste the time searching their site for an hour reading their regs. and come away with way more CORRECT info than you can by asking them directly. Good luck.

    Oh man, the postal regulations are so vauge.
    If you can even find the regs you need to look at.
    This whole "Law" thing is really starting to piss me off.
    Sometime this summer I am going to try to join the NYS Pistol Permit circus, learn to jump through flaming hoops for 6 months.
    Kiss the judges rear, since the decision rests entirely on him, not any set of criteria.
    Just good `ol fashioned discrimination.
    A doctor or a lawyer can get a CC permit like nothing.
    Seriously thinking about moving to PA.

    AHHH! Mr Snyder has it. I shipped a gunstock and hardware to Cete one time (try THEIR regs on some time?!?!) and eventually decided to call it "furniture parts" and George got it no sweat. As mentioned, put the word "gun" or "rifle" in there and they get teitchy. Good luck, and call it wood sculpture like Snyder mentioned!
