There&#8217;s only one problem. FedEx, the global courier Defense Distributed&#8217;s founder Cody Wilson opted to hire, is refusing to do its job.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This device is capable of manufacturing firearms, and potentially by private individuals,\u201d FedEx spokesperson Scott Fiedler told<a href=\"https:\/\/www.wired.com\/2015\/02\/fedex-mill-untraceable-firearms\/?mbid=social_twitter\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"fedex-refuses-ship-perfectly-legal-diy-ar-15-cnc-machine\" title=\"FedEx Refuses to Ship Perfectly Legal DIY AR-15 CNC Machine\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> Wired in a statement.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are uncertain at this time whether this device is a regulated commodity by local, state or federal governments,&#8221; Fiedler continued. &#8220;As such, to ensure we comply with the applicable law and regulations, FedEx declined to ship this device until we know more about how it will be regulated.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Wilson was blindsided by FedEx&#8217;s refusal to ship his product, not only because it&#8217;s perfectly legal but because of the relationship FedEx has developed with the nation&#8217;s gun lobby.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI&#8217;ve got an account with another courier, but FedEx is bewildering because the reason I started with them in the first place was their [National Rifle Association] advantage program,\u201d Wilson <a href=\"https:\/\/arstechnica.com\/tech-policy\/2015\/02\/fedex-wont-ship-the-box-that-makes-homemade-metal-semi-automatic-rifles\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"fedex-refuses-ship-perfectly-legal-diy-ar-15-cnc-machine\" title=\"FedEx Refuses to Ship Perfectly Legal DIY AR-15 CNC Machine\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">told Ars by text<\/a> message.<\/p>\n<p>Wilson believes that FedEx&#8217;s reluctance to ship the Ghost Gunner is politically motivated.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey\u2019re acting like this is legal when in fact it\u2019s the expression of a political preference,\u201d Wilson told Wired. \u201cThe artifact that they\u2019re shipping is a CNC mill. There\u2019s nothing about it that is specifically related to firearms except the hocus pocus of the marketing.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In talking with a FedEx representative, Wilson tried to be explicit about what he was shipping. \u201cThis is no big deal, right? It\u2019s just a mill,\u201d Wilson says he told the FedEx rep. \u201cYou guys ship guns. You\u2019ve shipped 3-D printers and mills, right? You\u2019ll ship a drill press, right? Same difference.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Nevertheless, FedEx decided not to ship it out.<\/p>\n<p>The Ghost Gunner is designed primarily for 80 percent lowers, that is receivers that are 80 percent completed and just need minor but not easy-to-do tweaks to become fully operation. The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives sets the limit at 80 percent complete, after which a receiver becomes regulated by law.<\/p>\n<p>With its diminutive size (one foot by one foot), the machine isn\u2019t built for heavy duty milling but can cut an aluminum 80 percent lower in about an hour.<\/p>\n<p>And again, this process is perfectly legal, as Adam Winkler, a UCLA law professor and author of &#8220;Gunfight: The Battle over the Right to Bear Arms in America,&#8221; noted.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is not that problematic,\u201d said Winkler to Wired. \u201cFederal law does not prohibit individuals from making their own firearms at home, and that includes AR-15s.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>UPDATE, Wednesday 10:24am EST: It appears we can add UPS to the list of shipping companies that won&#8217;t send out the Ghost Gunner.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;UPS is continuing to evaluate such concerns with regard to the transportation of milling machines used to produce operable firearms but, at this point in time, will not accept such devices for transportation,&#8221;\u00a0UPS spokesman Dan McMackin said in an\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/arstechnica.com\/tech-policy\/2015\/02\/fedex-wont-ship-the-box-that-makes-homemade-metal-semi-automatic-rifles\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"fedex-refuses-ship-perfectly-legal-diy-ar-15-cnc-machine\" title=\"FedEx Refuses to Ship Perfectly Legal DIY AR-15 CNC Machine\">email to Ars<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u201cWe are uncertain at this time whether this device is a regulated commodity by local, state or federal governments,&#8221; said a FedEx rep. &#8220;As such, to ensure we comply with the applicable law and regulations, FedEx declined to ship this device until we know more about how it will be regulated.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":34,"featured_media":25532,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_specdata_upc":"","_specdata_placement":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[7,216],"tags":[132,617],"featured":[],"hunt365":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-33938","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-gunsamerica-authors","8":"category-s-h-blannelberry","9":"tag-buzz","10":"tag-industry-news"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v27.1 (Yoast SEO v27.3) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>FedEx Refuses to Ship Perfectly Legal DIY AR-15 CNC Machine<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"FedEx is refusing to ship a perfectly legal CNC mill that finishes AR-15 lowers.
