Here is my latest example. I purchased a Marlin 336RC .35 caliber lever action rifle. I bought it from the owner which lives out of state. He shipped it directly to me with no FFL here in FL.

That is completely illegal if there isn't an FFL holder in your house! Just cause you did it doesn't make it legal. You very well may get a knock on your door by men in suits, and that is if you are lucky. Maybe you'll get a flash bang and your door will be knocked in. If that happens I suggest yelling I give up and hitting the deck.

In the case of handguns the USPS will not and cannot legally ship them. They must go UPS or FEDEX and at least in Michigan must go 01 FFL (in state) to 01 FFL (purchasers state).
If you ship intrastate in Michigan long guns can go from your door to the new owner... Handguns must either be FTF or FFL to FFL as there is paperwork to be filled out with every handgun transfer.
Long gun shipping is very simple, cut and dried. Handgun shipping becomes more cumbersome because of varying handgun laws within the various states. Some much more strict than others.

Can Black powder guns or muzzle loaders be shipped. You can buy them from cabela's or anyplace through shipping? Could a person send the barrel and then the rest of the gun as gun parts person to person

I have always wondered how that applies to muzzle loaders. I just ordered a CVA from Cabela's and nothing required other than my signiture. How differet is it selling from one individual to another. I know there are a couple states it isn't allowed.
