On packing
I learned an excellent method of preventing damage during shipping from the gentleman who exports my guns from the UK for me. Wrap the gun, barrels, stock etc in paper then a good covering of bubble wrap. When finished cut cardboard to cover the ends, trigger guard, hammers etc. Tape the cardboard in place. Then box with a good amount of filler. It does take a long time to get your package ready to ship. Use registered mail as it is hand carried the whole way.
I have had superb results using this method.
