NMFC 107997: Antique Replica Firearm Kits | Class 92.5

Note 107998: NOTE-Applies on kits containing parts necessary for the construction of an operable antique muzzle-loading firearm replica.

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. Write the BOL item as “Kits, antique firearm replica, unfinished, unassembled, in boxes – NMFC 107997, Class 92.5” to prevent carrier reclass and confusion with live firearms.
2. Pack in rigid double‑wall boxes; separate wood stocks from metal castings or barrel blanks with foam or corrugated dividers. Bag small screws and pins and cushion sharp ends to avoid punctures.
3. Keep the primary packaging as boxes to maintain this rating. If palletizing multiple boxes, leave them boxed and shrink‑wrap; the NMFC class remains 92.5 for the boxed contents.
4. Confirm carrier policy on replica or kit items and add “non-functioning kit components” on labels. Request signature or limited access delivery for hobby shops or museum destinations when needed.

Note: All classifications are subject to Item 170. Verify with official NMFC publications for the most current requirements.

• Fixed Class 92.5 gives predictable LTL pricing for hobby retailers, reenactment suppliers, and education programs purchasing kits.
• Simple, non‑density classification reduces reweigh/reclass fees and speeds bill audits because dimensions don’t drive the NMFC class.
• Clear item wording limits compliance holds often triggered by firearm terms, improving pickup success rates and transit reliability.
• Damage‑focused packing guidance lowers claims on wood stocks and cast parts, cutting replacement costs and preserving customer satisfaction.
