Background: I do not hold an FFL license of any type. I bought a Yugo M48 from a Gunbroker seller and C&R FFL 03 holder. He resides in NY and I am in NC. Obviously, to ship the rifle to me it had to go through an FFL on my end.

Anyway, the rifle was damaged in shipment and the shipper refused to honor the insurance claim because the rifle was not "adequately packaged for shipment". The seller / C&R holder in NY has agreed to take the rifle back.

Question: what options do I have to send a long gun (C&R eligible M48 Yugo Mauser) from NC to a C&R holder in NY? If I can ship directly to him via USPS, FedEx or UPS, would I need to obtain a copy of his C&R as CYA for me?

Thank you!
