    quick question on shipping a restricted

    I need to ship out my ar15 for a transaction and need to satisfy the requirements. Can I use a chamber lock instead of a trigger lock? I only have expensive trigger locks which i would prefer to keep and do not have enough time to go buy a cheap one

    Last restricted I bought on the EE showed up in the factory case, no trigger lock, and a zip tie...

    Legally, as long as it's secured with a secure locking device you're good. That could include a trigger lock, cable, chamber lock, or one of those magazine lock things.

    are you saying a zip tie around the chamber would work perfectly fine as well?

    There are two separate considerations to take into account, and both matter:

    1.) the Storage, Display, Transportation and Handling of Firearms by Individuals Regulations, including it's definition for 'secure locking device', and;
    2.) the Canada Post policy.

    Nope. I'm saying some people don't read the laws and think that if a store can ship it that way, so can they, even though they're breaking the law. In fact, I think the law may have been broken twice, as it wasn't shipped with a lock on it, and he more than likely transported it to the post office like that too...

    Just wondering, if shipping with a lock, should keys be shipped separately? Or just hidden in the package?

    If you ship with a keyed trigger or cable lock, you can ship the key to the buyer a few days in advance VIA snail mail. You still have to wait for the transfer to be completed, so the key should arrive before the gun.

    This. The only R I've sold got shipped out with a combo trigger lock, with the combo provided via PM.
