Mikec,

You wouldn't be pushing any rules if you go the disassembly route to get it back to VA as I recommended... it is not illegal to carry PART of a gun... ATF considers that the grip frame is the serial numbered part... without any other parts is it totally incapable of firing anything... it is just a part.

The balance of the parts are perfectly legal to be mailed to you, because without the grip frame, they are also just parts...

But you do what you need to do to be comfortable and keep Mom happy.

"If Momma ain't happy, ain't nobody happy!" Ask me how I know!
