Long rifle shipping box and packaging

[shadow6492]

How do you guys package a rifle for shipping and any local places to buy padded rifle boxes?

Thanks

Can't help you much, just know you're not supposed to have anything on the box indicating there is a firearm inside. Good luck.

Any heavy weight box will do. Pack the long-gun in the box with packing peanuts, bubble wrap, or even wadded up newspaper.

Padding is all you need.

They're hard to find. I've gone to my local U-haul and bought a box meant to hold a set of golf clubs, and then cut the width of the box down to my size. When I buy new guns, I ALWAYS save the factory box so if I ever decide to sell on Gunbroker, I can put them back in there. I use another box (Uhaul box) on top of that one.

You have to make sure to pack the rifle well. Any shipper will deny your insurance claim if the firearm was poorly packaged.

Or check at the LGS and see if they will give you one for free. They just throw them away most of the time.

I'll check and see if the local shops got an extra box they can spare.
