You can also ship interstate without going through an FFL when you ship a firearm back to the manufacturer for repair, and when they ship it back to you. (Although maybe the law considers the manufacturer to an FFL, I don't know about that.) I recently returned a modern revolver directly to Smith and Wesson using a prepaid shipping label that they sent me. When they finished the repair, it was shipped back to me without going through an FFL at my end.
