Shipping a Muzzleloader
A person wants to buy one of my muzzleloaders. What is the legal procedure to ship a ML from private party to private party?
Do I have to send it to a FFL dealer in his area?? Can I send it UPS? Any info would be appreciated. Never did this before. kl

In most states a ML is not considered covered under the Firearms laws - so they can be shipped directly to another person.
but,
In 5 states they are considered a firearm and can not be shipped person to person. I can not put my mind on which 5 states those are.... but if you were to go to a Cabelas catalog and look in the ML rifle section - it might tell you which states they can not ship to....

I have shipped Muzzleloaders that I have sold with no problem. I think some of those states that Cabela's mentions just have certain parts of them with restrictions. For example, I think parts of Michigan are ok to ship to. I think California and Illinois are the worst.

I think that also depends on the muzzle loader . I know with a Encore and Apex because you can change barrels with a center fire it is different . I know you have to get a BG check for them, but not with most other muzzleloaders , at least here in utah . MY Tradition i got through the mail , but my Encore i had to get through a FFL dealer and pay the BG fee .

All I can tell you for sure is that if the recipient lives in Iowa, and it's not a 4473 switchbarrel gun like an Encore, then you can ship it to his house UPS. That's how I got my 10ML-II... UPS.
