How to ship a H&R receiver?

[bozoracing]

So I looked and searched and could not find the answer (maybe too many answers?) regarding the sale and shipping of a H&R receiver. I am a private seller and am looking to sell off a receiver at some point and time. I figured that this occurs here on a regular basis and someone might point me in the right direction.Thanks. And if you haven't gathered, I have never shipped a firearm, or sold a firearm via the internet, I'm just a newb.

As the frame or receiver is the serial numbered part it will have to be handled as any other firearm with it being shipped to a FFL holder or in a face to face deal were it is legal to do so .

I do understand that the receiver needs to be shipped to a FFL holder, my confusion is in how do I go about shipping.....I've read they regs according to the BATFE and the USPS. If I understand this right, I need to inform whomever the shipper is, that I'm shipping a firearm to a FFL. That being said, who would you recommend I ship through. And as a non-license holder, can I use any carrier? Sorry I wasn't more specific about my question. Hope this helps. Thanks.

You need to read more before GB see's this . All complete guns or just actions sold on this site need to be shipped from FFL to FFL no exceptions on this site. You can do whatever the laws are in your state as far as face to face. If we don't follow this FFL to FFL rule we will be shut down and I for one don't want that. Kurt

Here is rule on how to sell on here and if you have not yet read all the announcements in the Administrative forum you should do so as the are just as or more important than the FAQ's and will help keep you out of hot water Kurt

ALL items placed for sale on the various GBO Classifieds Forums MUST have a price clearly listed. Any ad posted without a price WILL BE DELETED by the Moderators or Admin. Continued refusal to post prices will result in you being banned from use of the Classifieds.

Our moderators will no longer delete ads after item has sold so please DO NOT edit subject line to note items have sold. Instead make a new post to the thread stating they are sold. This will allow prospective buyers to know it's no longer available. However IF you move it to an auction site please do edit subject line to let us know. Failure to do so may result in you no longer being allowed to use the GBO Classifieds.

Use of this forum is free to individuals selling personally owned merchandise. This is defined as items you have held for some period of time which was acquired FOR USE BY YOU but which you no longer want. It DOES NOT include items you bought for the purpose of resale.

All ads must specifically list the items for sale or trade and list a sell price or what you wish to trade for. If a buy ad be specific in what you want to buy.

Specifically NOT INCLUDED in the definition of personal use items are any items you have obtained just for the purpose of selling with the hope of making a profit. However if you buy something say a set of TC frame, barrels, scopes just to get a few of them and have some others you do not wish to keep you may make arrangements with me via e-mail to post the surplus here whether a profit results or not. Such permissions will not be given more than once per month.

DO NOT post items here that are listed on ANY auction site. If you list on an auction site after posting here please alter subject line to make me and the moderators aware so we can delete. If I catch folks listing items here and on an auction site privileges for this site will be revoked.

Any member buying a firearm posted for sale on the GBO web site must follow all Federal, State and Local laws that govern the state in which they intend to have the gun delivered.

If you maintain such a pace of sales for more than two months YOU WILL NOT CONVINCE me you are not a business.

I have a special rate of only $125 per year for folks who wish to use the Classifieds Forum for that purpose. Or for the same sum of $150 per year you may post on as many forums as are appropriate for the merchandise you are selling. If you have a special circumstance that causes you to have a one time or limited time group of items to sell at a profit that will not be recurring contact me for arrangements. We'll work something out.

This might be in the case of you buying a large collection of some item that you want a few of but will sell most of hoping to turn a profit.

All other businesses or ads appearing to be from businesses will be deleted with no notice to posters. Moderators please copy me the ad for contact to see if they wish to become a paying advertiser.

Proof of Shipment/Payment, GBO encourages anyone conducting a transaction to ensure proof of payment and shipment. If you sale an item and ship it with out a proof of delivery slip GBO can not assist you in seeking legal action or restitution. The same is said for payment, if you send cash in the mail to pay for an item you have purchased then a) we can not aid you in your recovery b) have got to be out of your mind in the first place. It costs very little for these confirmations and are worth every cent of it, they are your only proof, without them it is one member's word against another's, and in such cases GBO reserves the right to not get involved at all. To ensure help from GBO please follow this simple rule as it is for your protection.

PHATINJUN,

I appreciate your concern....As stated above I may sell in the future and having never participated in any sale other than face to face, I thank you for any and all advice and this why I'm asking questions. Unfortunately the following statement....."Firearms must be shipped FFL to FFL or sold face to face in state when and where legal." was not in the sticky at the top of the NEF/H&R Classifieds. So I missed that altogether. But thank you for bringing this to my attention. I'm definitely don't want to breaking any rules here.
I sold off a barrel and the furniture from a H&R and now have just a receiver left over. If I have to send from an FFL to list here, that won't be a problem. Thanks again.

Where are you located at. kurt

My choice is to ship them USPS, do not mark on the outside that it is a firearm.  I have never read anywhere (except people who have written about wives tails) that you have to tell the PO that it contains a firearm.  When you send the receivers to NEF you do not have to do it FFL to FFL, and to ship to a gunsmith for work does not have to go FFL to FFL.  If you do not sell it on this site then you can ship from you to a FFL if you can find one that will accept shipment from a private individual.  As far as I can tell there is no requirement for this if you are shipping within your state unless your state has laws about it (this is somewhat vague to me, but I don't think the feds are in on it at all).  All of this may be incorrect, so if someone can point to a real written law or rule then speak up and we will all learn something.  Larry
