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.
