Help me out, folks! I need to ship 3 rifles to a smith for some work, but I can't find suitable boxes (length, durability, etc.). It's been suggested that I put them in those hard plastic cases like Bushmaster rifles come in, and while those are durable, they kind of advertise that there's a rifle in them. Any ideas?? If I have to buy the boxes online, and have them sent to me, so be it. Thanks!! |

CHRIST - Don't use the hard plastic case! Nice idea, but advertises that your sending expensive contents. I've done it twice - bith times proved disastorous. Ok, on to what works for me. I send quite a few off each month. repairs/sold etc. I like to break the weapon down to as SMALL as it will go. IE. break the AR into the halves , fal into halves, etc. AK's I will send as is or fold them if a folder is present. Next I wrap everything in bubble wrap. twice around at least. I then cut a box to work or use a box I already have. I use a box again that doesn't SCREAM assault weapon inside.. Go small. I then place the gun with bubble wrap into the box and soround it with crumpled up newspaper which will act like shocks. Keep a roll of plastic shipping tape handy. I have NEVER had a problem with this method. |
