Any reason you can not ship a pistol in parts in multiple boxes....

[tkdguy]

from one side of the country to another addressed to yourself? Sending the frame separately and the slide, barrel is three separate boxes??? Addressed to your self.

If you get caught, and get prosecuted, you'd go to jail.

Many parts of the pistol can be shipped, as they are just "parts". The actual "pistol" is one particular part (or assembly of parts). I am not expert enough to tell you which part/assembly that is.

Are you moving? If so, take it/them with you. If you're not moving, what are you trying to achieve? We're all curious now.

The serialized receiver (or frame where all the doin's go) is typically considered the firearm by law.

The "receiver" or the serialized frame (what holds the trigger group) is considered the "gun" by ATF. It doesn't matter that you send everything in pieces. If not done legally you could face prosecution and lose your gun rights. My advice, transfer it. Legally. From one FFL to another.

Any advice posted here encouraging mailing it in "pieces" will result in this thread disappearing.

The frame is legally considered to be a firearm. For all of the rest of the parts, it is OK to do.

Except certain types like the Ruger MKI, II, III type that the upper/receiver is the actual serialized part that is required to go thru an FFL.

Is there a bunch of parrots around here, or what? I swear there's an echo in here!

Assuming OP moving or visiting another state, the ATF has a few Q&As that are on this point:

• May a person who is relocating out-of-State move firearms with other household goods?
  
• May a nonlicensee ship firearms interstate for his or her use in hunting or other lawful activity?
  
• May a nonlicensee ship a firearm through the U.S. Postal Service?
  
• May a nonlicensee ship a firearm by common or contract carrier?

Cheers.

Just going to be honest here, it sounds like you are asking people to tell you not to break the law... Remember let's not screw the forum

No.

Depends on the gun
A Sig,the trigger group is the firearm on one model.
Whatever part has the serial number on it is "the gun"
In the case of a hand gun,that part needs to be sent to a ffl

Hold on.... EXCEPT when a firearm (Glock for example) has matching S/N's on parts like the barrel, slide, and frame.... legally the frame (for Glock) is the firearm.



This house is so confusing.... so many doors!

The part that accepts the magazine is the easiest way to remember which part is the registered part

Which Sig is that?

Read number 2, the ATF says you can ship to yourself as long as it's addressed "in the care of" someone else and only you open it.

Oh contrare,the slide on a glock is just a slide
I would like presidence of someone buying a slide thru an FFL.
I have bought slides for glocks before without a FFL

Sit pro? And the gun that replaced it
SP2022? I believe

Thanks. I looked around and it appears they do that so the owner can switch calibers and the related frame.
