How to ship Luger to a C&R holder ?

Member Posts: 4 ✭✭
I live in NJ and hold a Firearms ID. I sold a 1936 Luger to a C&R holder in Kentucky. I know UPS (least in NJ) requires overnight shipment ONLY to a FFL holder. Now ... is a C&R really a FFL 03 Liscense and recognized as a FFL for shipping purposes ? And can I, as a non-FFL, ship ? Thanks in advance.

Now, UPS and FedEx policies require that you ship a handgun to an FFL dealer and do not recognize a C&R licensee as a dealer. So, regardless of its C&R status, you need to ship it to an FFL dealer via overnight shipping.
Sucks, doesn't it?
There's the rub: Although ATF says your Luger is a C&R firearm, you can not ship it through USPS. It must be shipped through a private carrier.

Neither FedEx nor UPS require shipping to a dealer, just to a licensee. Shipping a C&R firearm to a C&R FFL holder is both legal and allowed by their tariffs.
You may have run into some clerks that did not understand their own company's policy.
The Postal Worker at My Post Office had Me disable the Pistol(remove Slide) and fill out a Statement that stated that the Pistol cannot be made to fire in it's present condition and then I was able to send it through the U.S.Mail.
Sure, you can do that if you want to commit a FELONY. The receiver is the firearm and only dealers and manufacturers can ship them through USPS. You can ship a longarm but NOT a handgun or the receiver through USPS.
