I find that a single eight foot 1x4 pine board (for the sides) and a half sheet of 1/2 inch plywood (for the top and bottom) is all I need to make a nice shipping box. It can be sized to fit the gun so that after it is wrapped in bubble wrap it will fit snugly and travel safely. It costs more than cardboard but protects better. Shipping cost is only few dollars more.

I recently bought a gun from our own Mr. Swanson and he shipped it in a wooden crate which is practically bullet proof. Right now the gun and crate is with Brian Dudley. When it returns I attempt to post pics. I ship exclusively USPS and have never had a problem. The cost to ship this crate was only $22.00. Not bad considering the secure manner in which it will travel and it does'nt look like a gun is inside.
