How do I ship an airgun?

USPS allows non-licensed individuals to ship most airguns under Pub 52 because they fall outside the federal definition of a firearm.

Air guns with muzzle velocity of 400 fps or more must include Adult Signature service per DMM 503.8 (USPS Publication 52). Do not put any external markings indicating the contents. UPS and FedEx have become more restrictive in recent years and generally require shippers to be FFL holders for items they classify as firearms; airguns are usually accepted but verify with the carrier first. Always degas a PCP before shipping and never include CO2 or HPA tanks pressurized.
