best way to ship a gun

[Robhuntandfish]

never sent a gun out anywhere - whats the best way to send one out in the mail?  Should I wrap it in a gun case and send it that way?  Put it in a box ?  Im sending it to PA 

Gonna send one to have the trigger adjusted (thanks for the info on this Doewacker!).

I ship in a gun box and cover any identifiable markings on the box. If you were closer I’d let you borrow my Browning box lol.

2 different options I have used.

A plastic case and then I wrap it in cardboard. I stop at local appliance place and use a fridge box.

Or what I like better is using some  2" ridgid insulation foam and make a custom fit insert for a box. I wrap gun in a layer of bubble wrap to prevent any rubs. You can often get a spare box at local gun store.

am thinking i have a soft sided case for it,  so fill that with gun and some cushioning then put in a box.  Its a PITA but really want to send it.  I would drive but its a 6 hour trip one way.  Thanks for the info.
