The sad fact is all the major carriers do a mediocre job. I have had registered packages get lost by the post office and never found. I have a nice BHE Parker 20 that needs a general internal cleanup and the only reason it stays dirty is I'm afraid to send it to DelGrego's.

I also believe most people simply fail to package a gun well enough. Multiple layers are the key. If I ever do mail a gun it will be in a length of 8" Schedule PVC pipe with additional protection inside, minimum.
