Mailing Ammo?? Legality??
« on: February 04, 2011, 07:01:43 AM »
Hi Guys,
I am relatively new to the cartridge collecting thing.  I was curious what the laws are in regards to mailing loaded casings?  Can you use the post office?
Thanks.

There is a very informative thread that covers this, going on over in the H&R centerfire section.

Long story short. NO not with USPS you cannot.

I wish there was an easy way to do this. But to many don't know their own rules making it quite frustrating for the guy trying to do things right.

Read the sticky on How to Ship Ammo in the Firearms and Ammo Classifieds.
