The gun control act of 1968 considers antique, which is pre 1898, as non-guns. Included are reproductions of muzzle loading and cap and ball pistols. Being non-guns makes them eligible to be shipped USPS.
USPS may have changed their policy, but my guess is that the local employees are not aware of this, and just think all guns are guns. Then again, i may not be aware of a new policy! I also believe that modern firearms can be shipped from one ffl holder to another ffl holder via USPS.
Now I realize that i haven’t answered anything….but the last time i shipped a cap and ball pistol USPS was to a very nice gentleman in Texas, last year. I didn’t tell USPS that it was a “non-gun”, and it was delivered.
