If you wrap everything in paper, you can slice the noodles lengthwise and slip the barrels inside and tape them in place. You can do the same with a stock / receiver by wrapping it around the perimeter and taping in place.
The high density foam works well in suspending parts in foam when thrown around in shipping. I've used them many times in shipping heavy propeller blades without issue as well.

i use pool noodles and pipe insulation also. when i ship fragile things i crate them and then put the crate in a cardboard box surrounded by bubble wrap or foam or both. if possible i hard mount to the crate. the truth is shotguns are a fairly sturdy object to begin with using common sense care should be sufficient. i would worry more about loss , theft, or mishandling.
