not going to drive from upstate NY to Missouri to drop off a rifle.
Two words. ROAD TRIP! Get your best bud, some pork rinds, and a couple gallons of iced tea.

That only works for the box the airtag is in, not for the item; it wont fit inside even a redhawk. Need to reduce the size o' them thangs...or cable them to said item like some stores do.I would start investing in Apple Airtags. Hide one inside the original stock. Anywhere there is WiFi internet, you can track. Which is almost anywhere.
No need for professional appraiser. even though the Stock maker would qualify.Have worked fedex, both dockwork and security, and some people will try to get away with stuff, there are ways if somebody isnt paying attention. And heard of other docks where it is rampant.
For a Redhawk, take a grip off and hollow out a quarter size area. A Hawkeye size rifle on the other hand has plenty of stock room to hide one.That only works for the box the airtag is in, not for the item; it wont fit inside even a redhawk.

No fingerprints on the empty box, i guess?
Hold on just a minute, unless the postal inspector can get the firearm listed into NCIC for you. No PD or Pawn will ever know the firearm is stolen. The format for entering stolen stuff is through police reports that are reported by the owner of the property. To list a firearm there needs to be entered the serial number among other things. I would have been at my USPS office talking to the inspector and learn if it is or is not listed as stolen. Heck right now you could have any officer or PD run the serial number and find out. It might be worth it.Believe it or not but ATF will not take the complaint. FBI wont take complaint. Local LE agency defers to postal inspectors.
When the first rifle was stolen, UPS wouldnt do yugo so i did file criminal complaint with local PD. They took it and they caught the guy. He was areested and convicted. They recovered the first Hawkeye but no stock blank. According to the arresting officer the thief said he "got rid of it". Probably in his wood stove.
Anyway Since ups paid claim i couldn't get rifle back.
Yes. And It's probably somebody in the post office.I took the comment as, somebody is paying real close attention to that shop, somebody knows more than they should about the operation.
It sucks but it's true. As a dealer, if I have something stolen from my inventory that I have to contact ATF. But as a private citizen and you have something stolen, local law enforcement.Believe it or not but ATF will not take the complaint. FBI wont take complaint.
