Here is a question for the masses. Since this mainly concerns an AR and an AK, I figured general rifle was the place to post. I will be doing some traveling to visit my folks and driving through a state that has a ban on both these firearms. For fear of getting pulled over and searched, I am planning on removing the bolts from both these rifles and mailing them to my folks. The question is, will this work? Without these viable parts, is it still considered a functioning firearm and therefor illegal? Or is the bases on the receivers? To which both these receivers are off-list anyways. I will be leaving Saturday, so the more information I can get in this short period of time will be helpful and comforting.

If you are transporting through a state and are not living in it there are laws that allow interstate travel just take the bolts out and put them in a separate locked container

Legally , You can mail the Long guns to YOURSELF , C/O your parents. The Receivers are considered to be the Firearm so even without the Bolts in them, you could be arrested for Illegal Possesion and Transport...
Get Tracking Numbers , Insurance, and Adult signature required at your parents But MAKE SURE the Boxes are Blank on the outside , and No Ammo inside or Loaded weapon !
(It is against the Law to have "Firearms or Guns" on the outside of the Box FYI !)

State and local laws can not trump or superceed federal laws on this matter. this was part of the "Firearm Protection Act" of 1986.

US CODE: Title 18,926A. Interstate transportation of firearms
