I need to ship a shotgun receiver (not the entire gun) to the manufacturer for some warranty work. The manufacturer is out of state, and I had originally intended to send the receiver back via US Postal Service registered mail, but after researching the topic I am not sure if this is legal since it will cross state lines. I am also not sure if the manufacturer can directly send the receiver back to me via US Postal Service or UPS, or would it need to be sent to an FFL licensee. If anyone has any definitive insight I would appreciate it. The manufacturer is currently closed, so I can't contact them until Monday and was hoping to get it sent off today.
I sent a barrel to an out of state manufacturer once via USPS with no issues, and it was was returned directly to me with no issues. My concern is this time I am sending the receiver, which I assume ATF considers to be a firearm, since it has the serial #, even though the barrel will not be sent. I just do not want to unknowingly break the law, so I thought the Green Screen brain trust would have some insight.
