I am about to ship my first order (a rifle)...where can you get boxes for that...for handguns I just use the medium one rate from USPS...the got nuthin that will hold a rifle
You CAN order rifle boxes from the folks that make boxes. You can also use (and charge for) an inexpensive hard sided rifle case (keep the box it came it- you will need to put it back in box to ship) I have paid as little as $9 each. Advice on shipping- remove bolt if bolt action. If barrel can easily be removed, do so (like a bolt action) Saves on broken stocks. Pad the ends with about 4-6 inches of Styrofoam or tightly balled newspaper. Check electrical supply houses- the boxes that fluorescent light fixtures come in can also be used. And if all else fails, check gun shops in your area...
C3shooter....dumb question. Do I open the weapon when i get it from the distributor? wont the customer think it is used? i assumed that the serial number and all that info i needed for my aquistions book would be outside the box...
I always reuse the ones they come in oh and I always check the firearm. I had a SCAR come in where the paperwork said one thing and the rifle said another.
