Shipping

 

When you ship to us

We are a gunsmithing company and that carries a certain level of attention; both good and bad.  When you are shipping parts to us, it is highly recommended that you do NOT use “LongRifles, Inc.” as the business name.  Use “LRI” instead. Our local mail providers all know us by it, and we have good relationships with them. Our intent is risk management by avoiding unnecessary attention. 

Mailing a firearm:

  • It is LEGAL to ship a bolt action rifle via the United States Postal Service directly to us as long as it is declared and unloaded.  You CAN walk right in and ship it directly to us (LRI) and be in full legal compliance.   https://pe.usps.com/text/pub52/pub52c4_010.htm     
  • You are NOT legally obligated to present our FFL to the post office.
  • Private shipping companies such as UPS and Federal Express have revised their policies.  They will only allow FFL to FFL transfers.  
  • Federal Express has suspended new account applications in our area.  We have applied several times and been denied.
  • We ship Federal Express through a 3rd party FFL local to us.

Hard learned advise:

  • When shipping a firearm, it is strongly advised that you do not leave the bolt inserted on a bolt action rifle.  Remove it from the receiver and package it inside your gun case seperately.
  • If possible, REMOVE your trigger from your barreled action.  Trigger shoes are extremely delicate!
    • If you cannot remove it, the best alternative is to build a protective shell around the entire back half of the action and trigger housing.
  • NEVER apply an adhesive backed shipping label directly to any plastic gun case.  They are almost always contaminated by mold release agents used during manufacturing.  The label has a very high probability of falling off, especially in cold weather.  Instead, obtain a “luggage style” label tag that wraps around the handle of your case and attach the shipping label there instead.
  • Use zip ties to protect the case from opening accidently at the holes meant for padlocks. 
  • Wrap duct tape around the buckles of the case to prevent them from accidently opening.
  • TAKE A PHOTO of your parts prior to sealing the case and after.  Keep this for your records! 
  • TAKE A PHOTO of your actual shipping label attached to the luggage tag.

Where we ship

We ship in the United States and abroad.  Due to the ever-changing export climate, we do not ship overseas directly.  LRI retains the services of “Black Arsenal” in St Joseph, MI for this service.  You will have to negotiate the import/export process with them directly.

Black Arsenal Contact

Some parts and accessories are regulated/restricted in certain states and cities. Check the laws where you live before you place an order. If we can’t legally ship an item to you, we’ll cancel that item and refund it.

CALIFORNIA, ILLINOIS, AND NEW YORK STATE RESIDENTS:

ILLINOIS AND NEW YORK:

Current laws require any and all serialized firearms parts to be shipped FFL to FFL only.  No exceptions.  As of 10.21.26 LRI can/will only ship to an FFL to these two states.  This is regardless of it already being your property that you’ve already obtained through legal process. 

Example:  

We are happy to fit a new barrel to your rifle, but we can only ship the gun back to you through an FFL licensee.  We cannot ship it directly back to you.

California:

Legislation that went into effect 1 January 2026 prevents us from direct mailing ANY firearm part or accessory to a CA resident unless additional documentation is acquired and completed by you as the customer.  (The way the legislation is written, this can be as obscure as a single screw used to attach a scope ring) We are working on a solution for this to allow for non-serialized parts to be directly mailed to your home address.  Currently we will only ship to Federal Firearms Licensees with legal authority to operate within California.  We have an extensive dealer network in the state.  If unsure, please ask us prior to your order using our contact page email.

Shipping rates

Shipping is calculated at checkout based on what’s in your cart. Heavy or oversized items, like barrel vises and shop tooling, can cost more to ship than the checkout estimate. If that happens, we’ll contact you before your order ships.

How we ship

Shipping from LRI is through the US Postal service, Federal Express, and UPS.

Federal Express requires us to use a 3rd party retail hub located here in Sturgis.  FedEx can also use a label generated by your account.

UPS can ONLY be used if you supply us with a label generated by your UPS account.  

NOTE that account holders using their account/generated label MUST use the SAME return address that was entered into our A/D bound book for firearms entries.  Non-FFL items are exempt from this rule.  

As a rule, LRI generally does NOT ship firearms inside of a cardboard box unless it is from the factory.

We inventory molded Plano brand gun cases for shipping complete firearms.  These cases are packaged inside of a cardboard box.   If purchasing one of these from us, your encouraged to the KEEP THE BOX as it’ll prove useful for future projects.

When your order ships

Our lead times are a direct reflection of work volume.  We do our best to estimate jobs, but it is an ever-evolving timeline.   They are subject to change without notice.

Damaged or missing packages

Open your package when it arrives. If anything is damaged or missing, contact us ASAP via email.  You must include the order number and photos of the box and the item.  Keep the packaging, because the carrier may require it for a claim.
