I'm sure the box was cardboard. He says it was a "heavy doubled box". I suggested that he start shipping these in two containers, the barrel in a well padded 6" pc of ABS pipe, the stock in a v thick 3-4 layered and well padded box. Without the barrel the stock wouldn't be heavy enough to break if they tossed it around. I got a 10ga damascus hammer gun shipped that way from Canada some years back. Bbls came in a cardboard tube, the stock in a cardboard box. His reasoning then was, I think, that no one would bother to steal half a gun. You could also ship this Mauser broken down in one v well padded and heavy duty box.
