Gentlemen;
As a stockmaker, it is important to keep ahead of the game. ATF rules state that the out-of-state person receiving the Serial Numbered part of a firearm be an FFL dealer.
You as a private citizen may ship it for repair with in the USA without using an FFL dealer UNLESS your STATE's firearm regulations require it. Shipping the metalwork without the FFL dealer on the other end violates ICC and ATF regulations for the interstate shipment of dangerous goods.
A gunstock by itself DOES NOT require an FFL to ship or recieve. However if you have the metalwork (barreled action, receiver, Pistol frame) in the same package... the craftsman must have an FFL to accept it. The only exception MAY be if the craftsman resides in the same state as the owner. Therefore it doesn't cross a state line via common carrier. One must carefully read your state regulations to be sure. It use to be more simple than this .....but it has really gotten complicated.

The contract UPS shippers have less liability to honor insurance claims than real UPS offices. Be careful. My local UPS contract shipper has sheets over his storefront and probably now is back in a third world country living in a cave. Use the ATF website to confirm that a dealer is really a currently licensed dealer and mail only to the address shown on the ATF website. Hit the "PRINT" key on your computer when the address screen comes up. I'm sure all internet gun site advertisers use this public website to confirm the correct address to which they are sending a gun. It is way too easy to create a fraudulent FFL copy. When a dealer just asks for a number of an FFL, he is confirming on the ATF website, just as you and I should.
