We ship or receive more than a 1000 guns per year and any problem is rare. We mostly use UPS but we have plenty of experience with all the regular carriers.
The packaging is the most important thing, use a fresh sturdy box, break the gun down, wrap the pieces in several layers of paper then bubble wrap, pack the box tight so the wrapped pieces cannot move.
The weak link is the insurance with any of the carriers, I suggest that you use outside insurance or be sure that your insurance covers transportation.
