Mailing Long gun is fine in state.
If headed across state lines, must go to FFL or be addressed to yourself.
Post office folks often don't know the rules. Ask to speak to the postmaster or print the regs from the DMM to show them.
It's also listed on the BATFE FAQ.
Make sure you go to a post office, not a mailbox etc type place.

I am mailing to a dealer in another state.
Laws haven't changed, and they can't refuse it. I use USPS for shotguns, and always take a copy of the receiving FFL with me in case there are questions. I also put a copy inside the case or box just in case there is an issue during shipment. Based on my understanding, you don't have to disclose that it's a long gun to the USPS. You do have to declare a firearm shipped though a common carrier.
I've never had an issue. Ask for the postmaster next time.

Fight hard.
Yaaaaa, I definitely would have gotten a supervisor involved. The employee obviously just didn't know the answer so defaulted to "no". Probably an anti, as anyone else would have gotten clarification from a higher up.
