Shipping across state lines requires an FFL. Make sure the configuration is right for the receiving state - mag capacity, etc. The local FFL you are shipping to can help you.

You can ship directly to an FFL from the post office if it’s a long gun

This.

To clarify some of the other comments....You have to ship TO an FFL, bu you don't HAVE to use an FFL to do the shipping. Although you are in Broken Arrow and I highly recommend using Reddog (FFL) if he will still ship.

DO NOT USE FEDEX!!! Their new policy is all guns go overnight, I just sent my rifle to IWI (Tavor), and it cost $210! Contact the receiving FFL to see what they require. My FFL in WA wanted a copy of my brothers ID, and an invoice for the price. The recipient is going to have to pay a "use tax". Long guns are not required to be sent overnight. When Tavor sent my rifle back it took a week.

UPS requires guns to be overnighted as well.
