I've done this only once and it was to Mr. Bachelder. His recommendation was to pack the barrels in a PVC pipe (as previously mentioned) which I did. I used a length of 4" PVC pipe and enough bubble-wrap to ensure the barrels did not move inside the pipe. I glued a cap on one end of the pipe and used six small brass counter-sunk screws to hold the cap on the other end, being careful to not have the screw tips sticking into the pipe where they could contact the barrels. Then I wrapped each end in duct tape to add a level of security and hide the screws with the hope that no one noticed that they could open one end.
The advice from Mr. Bachelder was to insure the barrels for the total value of the gun which I did. I used UPS and the barrels made it there in good shape and came back in great shape.
