When shipping barrels only I use a rigid PVC tube with a cap glued on one end and PVC/NPT cap on the other end and when I tighten the NPT cap in place I drill and safety-wire it in place.
Then I put the sealed tube inside a long triangular cardboard shipping box and in the “To” address I never use the word “gun” or “firearm”.... sometimes just using the name of the owner and the business address without the business name.
Sounds like overkill but it has always worked well for me.
