Are you going to an FFL? If so.. ask them for their preferred shipping method

I have received long guns to my local FFL in AK via USPS, UPS without any issues. USPS is usually the most economical option but the maximum insurance coverage is up to $5000. So that could be a limiting factor.
Yes, I plan on using FFL but will have to see which one can ship to Alaska. Asked another one they only ship to lower 48.

Ask the receiving FFL in Alaska how they would like it shipped….
It really depends on location and gun shop preference, best shipping to Juneau may be different than Fairbanks, may be different than Anchorage…. It’s a big state…
That’s one of the reasons many FFL in the lower 48 don’t want to ship to AK, as well as cost of course….

Where in Alaska are you shipping it?
I've shipped a few to myself up here without issue from online sales.
It only gets weird if you are trying to "ship to myself in care of myself" stuff as people try to avoid FFLs.

I have an unfired T rex 577 if anyone is interested in acquiring it . Absolutely spotless, flawless and well kept . It's rare as it gets . Mouth watering ? Let me know if you feel like making an offer .

I just saw Budsgunshop.com has both the guide gun and the African for $1150. FWIW - I bought both and decided to use the Guide gun - I restocked it in a Bell and Carlson stock and I added the Alaska arms floor plate to add a round. I wanted the shorter barrel as I will use a suppressor. I wont go lower than $1100, but I will ship it and no sales tax.
Let me know if you are interested
