You can send it Fedex yourself to a prearranged FFL.

could be shipped as that is not a gun (I THINK I DONT KNOW FOR SURE) but the
top half with the barrel and receiver IS A GUN since it can hold a round and
be fired and can't be shipped via normal inexpensive methods.

inexpensively and it might end up costing a $100 to ship it with FFL fees at
both ends but its worth it to do it right. Just ask your local gun shop for
advice they will happily help you out on this. With the rules in place, I
think they will have to go through waiting period and registration at the
other end, but not shipped a gun since before 9/11.

so its worth doing it right and risk avoiding the Feds taking it and
confiscating it. And please make sure there is no round in the chamber before
disassembling it, I took mine apart one day by pushing the barrel against my
chest and 30 years later I still get shivers when I think about the live round
in the chamber as I did it, I was young and very stupid and while I knew to be
careful around guns, it taught me that I was not following the rules I knew
and been much more careful since.
