Hi Orvis. You don't need a license to ship a gun, just the recipient. As it's a C&R weapon if the buyer has an 03 license that's fine. Make sure you have a signed copy of it, the shipper may ask to see it.

The USPS allows long guns to be shipped by individuals, and that can be a cost effective option.

Try packing it up and then go to the different web sites for UPS FEDEX etc and price it out, they all have online rate calculation.
