Hope that helps,

Food for thought ...... so, let's say the "gun smith" to whom you're sending a post-1898 gun is in another state and s/he doesn't have a Type 01 FFL for gunsmithing. Are you in violation of Federal law by transferring a firearm interstate to an unlicensed person? Also, let's say the gun is damaged or stolen while in transit, how do you file a claim with the USPS if in fact you violated federal law by sending it to an unlicensed individual?
