The last email reply I got from Pietta said they may be starting up production late August or September. this was a few months ago.

I asked Dixie Gunworks the same question and the lady said they expect them before December. They are not taking any back orders and said to keep checking with them.

You might get away with shipping them now…. It just takes ONE gun hating postmaster, or a new regulation , to deprive you of your 2nd amendment rights and your personal freedom in the future. My postmaster said NO handguns, even antiques or replicas, can ship unless between FFL’s. I’m not taking the risk. You do what you want.

Seems like your Postmaster is making his/her own rules and not following their own policy.

Forgive my ignorance, but if I had a high end ML shipped to an FFL, are the odds better that it will arrive than if it shipped directly to me? Is there a higher standard of care when shipping to a federally licensed outlet?

YOUR POSTMASTER IS AN IDIOT.

He is simply following current regulations, which disallow shipping any kind of handgun, antique or not, via USPS.

The regulations are here: https://pe.usps.com/text/pub52/pub52c4_008.htm

No firearms, even antique black powder firearms (or replicas) that meet the definition of a handgun can be shipped via USPS.

There are a few exceptions for certain government employees and license holders, but your average Joe can't ship any kind of handgun through the USPS.

A black powder revolver is NOT a handgun.

For God's sake, read the ATF regulations.

ATF regulations are not relevant here.

USPS regulations are relevant here.

According to the USPS regulations, any kind of handgun - even black powder ones - cannot be shipped.

A black powder revolver is a handgun per USPS definitions.

ATF regs have NOTHING to do with the Post Office. My postmaster is the most pro gun person I’ve met. He also said , yes, you can plead ignorance and say “ I didn’t know the regulations had changed!” And you will be off the hook - for now. That may change….. enjoy your large fine, and possibly prison.

Why does this keep coming up?

You don't want to ship black powder revolvers via USPS.......fine.

Let the rest of us, all 99.99999% of us, ship black powder revolvers via the USPS.

It also applies to "antique firearms meeting the definition of a handgun."

Guys- I’ve said it before. Flood your representatives with info on this nonsense. This is just a way to deprive honest people of their rights. And attempt a back door gun registration list.

Exactly. ATF regulations are not USPS regulations.

Exactly. What they are trying to do is make it so hard to ship a "firearm" anywhere that nobody will do it.

Antique CARTRIDGE handguns.

AKA: An ANTIQUE 1873 Colt's revolver that takes .45 Long Colt cartridges that can be purchased at Bass Pro.

Antique is its own class.

Black Powder is its own class.

I'm done.

Before I get banned.

 

[Sam squanch]

I believe this all started a few years back. I watched a major network news show and the lady reported was horrified that “guns” were being sold with no background checks. They panned the camera to a table of- cap and ball revolvers!! And I’m sure one of our idiot vote suckers was watching…..

But it doesn't matter if it is an "antique" handgun or a modern handgun. All handguns are barred from shipping by USPS. "Antique" firearms are explicitly said to be firearms if they meet the description of a handgun.

Exactly. ATF regulations are not USPS regulations.

Good God almighty, USPS regulations, along with ATF regulations, are based on FEDERAL LAW. "Handguns are not mailable", comes directly from federal statute.

However, it also does NOT apply to antiques or replicas thereof. Stop spreading misinformation.

This pistol was received from Midway last fall.......via USPS.
