With FedEx, you need to expressly tell them there is a gun in the package (not sure if that is their rules or ATF rules). I shipped a pistol a week ago w/FedEx and clearly told them there was a pistol in the box and there were no troubles.

I've shipped a polymer pistol to myself in NC from FedEx in Boulder, on at least one occasion. I simply field stripped it first, and wrapped each piece in cloth, then put them all in the box... no ammo was included, which is obviously an important variable, but I didn't have any trouble with FedEx.
I'v shipped to myself with FedEX and no problem, they could care less about motorcycle parts. Just kidding, I have had no issues, even to CA.
I think the other safeguard, which will cost you more money, is to disassemble it and ship it in two parcels. Then you are shipping parts and not a gun.
