I worked for UPS for six months and dealt with unreplaceable items.

It comes down to, placing them in a box, maybe a bit larger, insure them for a 1,000 dollars, state that they are old gun magazines, with no other explanation. UPS does have the feeling recently that ANY gun part must go to a dealer, so maybe have Fedex or somebody else mess with it. In the big picture, a $1,000 is outrageous, they get other items for more than that. And if they think it is breakable, they will get bent out of shape if not wrapped well. But I would just insure them for a $1,000, or maybe better yet, like you said, if you go up to that area, buy them direct then and there.
