However, if they are being mailed across a state line, they must be mailed to yourself, or to the holder of a Federal Firearms License, such as a dealer, collector, or manufacturer.

The person receiving the firearm will go to the dealer, complete the same paperwork as if they were buying it from the dealer before they can take possession. SHIPPING is a different matter. An unloaded rifle or shotgun may be mailed by US Mail. This is covered in the Domestic Mail Manual under restricted mailings. HANDGUNS may NOT be mailed except by a licensed dealer or manufacturer.
