I had the same issue with my local post office. The clerks wouldn't ship it and I explained the definition of firearm and Texas rules governing shipping. She cited the clause if the antique firearm is a curio or for a museum and since I was shipping it to a gunsmith, that wasn't a museum. I went to another post office and the same thing occurred. I finally talked to the office manager and he said don't describe the contents and ship go ahead and ship it. I did and had no problem getting the pistol to its destination. I just worry if the package is lost, how do you collect your refund if it was insured and you are asked what was in the package.
