Bill V Report post Posted December 9, 2023 I need to ship a take down rifle out of state (muzzleloader) and would like to know others experiences. l don't think USPS would be the most reliable. choice but may be the only option. What say you? Thanks, Bill Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Coues247 Report post Posted December 9, 2023 Usps is the way to go. All the rules that apply to rifles don't apply to muzzleloaders for any of them but ups and fedex still get weird about it. Package that baby up nice and ship it usps. Don't even have to tell them it's a muzzleloader. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

L Cazador Report post Posted December 10, 2023 I'd ship UPS and insure for full value. You'll have to set up an account to ship. USPS doesn't pay if it gets lost or stolen and even their new Priority Mail system is not as efficient as they claim so give it a few extra days to arrive if you ship USPS. Double box it for sure no matter who you choose for a carrier. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bill V Report post Posted January 3 As a follow up to my question on shipping a firearm, I shipped with USPS and the service was excellent. Mailed on a Monday and the rifle (muzzleloaded) arrived in Montana on Friday in perfect condition. The time frame was just before Christmas, the busiest time of the year.
