A funny story along the lines of things being in boxes.
I bought about 50 stock blanks from the estate of a deceased gunsmith not long ago. Most of them were from the 1960s.
There were two or three very high quality Myrtle rifle blanks that were still addressed and had the postage stickers (from the mid ‘60s) on them from when he bought them from the dealer.
The postal service just mailed the blank as it was. No box or nothing. I chuckled when seeing that.
I’ve shipped several guns in wooden boxes and UPS wouldn’t accept unless we covered the boxes with cardboard . We’ve also had several broken things with UPS and so far (knock on wood) we’ve come out ahead of the game . Not to say that won’t change the next time but so far so good .
