I ship guns by UPS and have never ever had a problem shipping in cases Allan taught me to build. The wooden box in itself is protection enough and I have never marked them "FRAGILE" because in the business I was formerly in, that was taken as a challenge by the gorillas who handled the freight.
Allan was one of a kind and I miss him very much.
