The only things prohibited are Section 5 and illegal weapons.

I'm not sure where the PF48 thing came about?



I've recently received 2 rifles through PF and both arrived perfectly safely, mostly as a result of the good packing by the sender!
Because ParcelForce who are a different company to RoyalMail state that the only PF service for guns is PF48 it's that simple.
