Over the years I have shipped 3 very heavy firearms to purchasers. The guns were an 8 gauge DH,an 8 Gauge hammer T grade, and a Winchester model 54 Sniper’s Match. All three guns weighed in excess of 12 pounds and I feared the heavy handed shippers. In all three cases I built screwed and glued wood cases with internal wood supports that locked the guns in place and also made the cases crush proof unless a tank drove over them. After completing and filling the cases with properly protected guns, I then covered them with cardboard as UPS would not take wooden boxes. The guns went to Idaho, Missouri, a,d Georgia with no problem. I think I may have frustrated a few anti gun UPS emplyees.
