Mailing pistol parts
Little help here. The way I understand USPS (post office) rules I can’t mail any pistol (complete) or any firearm part that contains a serial number. But I can mail pistol parts as long enough the parts that I do ship do not have serial numbers. Is this correct? I’ll be mailing parts to myself and not a transfer of ownership.

which to thank everybody that posted. My “friend” is resting peacefully in his new home, a safe deposit box (not safety deposit box) and is not coming with us in our RV travels. It was a non event putting him in his resting place. Brought him in a paper bag along with other papers and locked him up. Bank lady signed us and the open door, she left and I just put away. My “friend” is large not many moving parts and only holds 6 bullets. (Here is where my question comes in) My thinking is that our new friend will have many more parts and carry more than 6 bullets with a magazine clip. Then to get around the bases and states that are a pain, I’ll mail several parts that don’t have any serial numbers to myself “general delivery”. I would be left with a in-operable pistol which is not a "pistol" capable of using, so how could they complain about carrying any "firearms"? I won't have a complete fire arm and it can't fire any projectiles. This is the only way I could think of to get arond some of these crazy laws that everybody seems to be coming out with. I don’t think I'll be breaking any rules doing this. But if you think I am please tell me. My reason for doing all this is when we were involved in a very minor fender bender, we were rear ended at a toll booth in Indiana. Didn't really know where I stood and that is not a good feeling. I'm not a criminal and wouldn't make a very good one.
