I remember reading a similar discussion a few years ago. The best thought at that time was to use heavy duty PVC pipe stock with a collar on each end into which a PVC plug could be screwed. The firearm was packed tightly in place and the screw in plugs were actually glued into place (for that reason the tubes were made longer than necessary so that they could be cut off and reused)
This sounded pretty good though I have never tried it. My last shipment to Del Grego was in a breakdown Browning case with 3 layers of foam protecting the gun. The whole thing was put into a cardboard box for shipment. Worked fine. |

Put the gun in a good hard case and put the case in a stout cardboard box with some padding, then the gorillas will not know you are shippiong a gun. It removes the resentment factor. What motivates these people is hard to understand. David

The person I bought my gun from was self insured so the gun was sent back.

The last gun I shipped I shipped broken down using bubble wrap. I used an old Americase heavy duty cardboard box. I tried to find a similarly shaped box locally but could not find one.
If I ever ship another gun, where do you guys find a rugged cardboard box the correct size, capable of shipping say a 30" barreled disassembled gun? |

Go to your local fishing tackle shop and (best in early spring when they're receiving new goods) and ask them if they'd save you some cardboard boxes that their rods are shipped in, especially those boxes shipped with one piece 9 ft or longer rods. You can cut the boxes down to size for your guns. Also ask them to save any of the bubble wrap that comes to them. I'm retired and work part time in a local premier tackle shop on the Cape and we're only too happy to give anyone these boxes who want them. Ask and you shall receive.

I find that a single eight foot 1x4 pine board (for the sides) and a half sheet of 1/2 inch plywood (for the top and bottom) is all I need to make a nice shipping box. It can be sized to fit the gun so that after it is wrapped in bubble wrap it will fit snugly and travel safely. It costs more than cardboard but protects better. Shipping cost is only few dollars more.
