A couple of years ago I shipped a handgun via USPS. I put some parts in one package, and others in a second. It did not cost very much to ship, and all I had to do was declare it to the postal person at the counter. All she did was ask if the parts were enough to put together a "whole gun" which I assured her was not the case. I informed her that the receiver with the serial number was considered a firearm by BATF, and she said that made no difference under postal service rules. I accepted her explanation and the gun arrived where it was going safely, even if in two boxes.
