Re: Black powder

["Christopher J. Kracik" <kracikcj@xxxxxxxx>]

I spoke with a very trusted FFL dealer regarding this.  He stated that as an
antique, it does not require an FFL to ship.  He stated that it should be
shipped UPS, overnight.  Obtain a fairly accuarte worth, and be sure to
insure it for at least that value.  He beleives that FedEx will not ship
firearms.

Hope this helps,
Chris
