Are you going to an FFL? If so.. ask them for their preferred shipping method

I have received long guns to my local FFL in AK via USPS, UPS without any issues. USPS is usually the most economical option but the maximum insurance coverage is up to $5000. So that could be a limiting factor.
Yes, I plan on using FFL but will have to see which one can ship to Alaska. Asked another one they only ship to lower 48.

Ask the receiving FFL in Alaska how they would like it shipped….
It really depends on location and gun shop preference, best shipping to Juneau may be different than Fairbanks, may be different than Anchorage…. It’s a big state…
That’s one of the reasons many FFL in the lower 48 don’t want to ship to AK, as well as cost of course….

Where in Alaska are you shipping it?
I've shipped a few to myself up here without issue from online sales.
It only gets weird if you are trying to "ship to myself in care of myself" stuff as people try to avoid FFLs.

Had an excellent classifieds transaction with JoninCO. A truly honest and standup member. I wouldn't hesitate at all to deal with him again. Thanks, J!
hi, do you know about lions hunters, leopard hunters, and crocodiles hunters of years 1930s-1950s
I'm new to Africa Hunting. I would like to purchase a Heym 450-400 double rifle. I'm left-handed but would prefer a non-canted gun. Is anyone in the community considering parting with theirs?
