Also thought I did a pretty good job of searching here on the hide. I think N570 might be a little slow for 250...

    Hi all, I was wondering what my options are to ship my shotgun to it's new owner. Does it have to go FFL to FFL ? The local gun store wants a total of $75. Does that sound like a fair price? Can I ship it to his FFL ? Which of the shipping companies are firearm friendly. Thanks Chuck
