Yes, but let's be sure we are using the same words-UPS, FedEx, and the US Postal service ship firearms, antique firearms, reproduction firearms, and replica firearms.Goods entering the US will need to pass through US Customs, no matter who the shipping carrier.Firearms are guns that discharge a bullet from a chemical explosion, and are made after 1898. They must be shipped to an importer.Guns made before 1899, or muzzleloading guns (even if new)are Antique Firearms.Reproduction firearms are a modern day copy of a real gun. They are treated the same as the original gun. If they shoot bullets, they are legally firearms (unless muzzleloaders)REPLICA guns are a non-shooting, will not chamber real ammo, cannot be MADE to shoot copy of a real gun. They are not firearms.Firearms, and reproduction firearms must be shipped TO a Federal Firearms Licensee in your home state (dealer). Antique firearms, and non-firing replicas may be shipped directly to you. Modern handguns (real kind) may not be mailed in the US mail except by dealers.
MOST "courier" companies do not- it is published in their rules, known as tariffs. In the US, UPS and FedEx DO ship firearms, so long as you comply with Federal law on shipping, Rifles and shotguns may also be shipped by the US Mail (within the US)
Unloaded, cased in a secure, locked case, and declared to the carrier transporting it. If ownership is beig transferred to someone else across a state line, in the US the gun must be shipped to a Federal Firearms Licnese holder in the destination state.
You either need to have a current federal firearms license or have the gun you ordered shipped to a FFL dealer. Most FFL dealers charge a moderate fee for this service.
Check Colt firearms website on how to order a"Factory letter". This will tell you who Colt shipped the gun to. After that, you'll have to search the owners.
Depends on where you are, and the laws that govern that place. In MOST of the US, no license is required. However, in firearms, "antique" has a legally defined meaning. Firearms that use loose powder and ball are antiques regardless of age. Cartridge firearms made prior to 1899 are antiques. They are NOT firearms under Federal law- they are Antique Firearms, and in most ways, treated as if they were not guns.There IS a Federal Firearms License for Collectors- known as a C&R or an 03 Curio and Relics Collectors License. It is not required, but permits a collector to buy firearms from another state and have them shipped directly to them. It covers firearms that are 50 years old or older.
They do that for the very same reason that when they empty their guns by firing at Superman, they then throw the gun at him.
