Hi
I'm considering sending my Mark II to Clark Custom guns to have the trigger done. I will ask him for directions when I do decide to send it off, but would like a little advance knowledge. Do you send pistols by UPS? Federal Express?
Any information, no matter how simple would be appreciated.

Re: Sending the pistol off to the gunsmith
You may want to look at the individual regulations from the companies but generally it's got to be next day or next day saver (depending on the compnay).
The main problem with shipping handguns is that most of the counter people have NO idea what the rules are so you may want to bring a copy of the company rules with you that state how and what is to be done.

Shipping Guns
You can ship guns directly to Clark for work---I have used FedEx for many years and have not had one problem---I tell them what is in the package and insured value---ship one day overnight---if they seem to gag at the term "gun" tell them to relax and do the necessary details.

Hi
I did a search on the Fedex sight and got this. Only two documents and the other one was for Canada. I had thought that Fedex was one of the places that did ship handguns....
