You ship a gun in two pieces inside the same container you could be asking for trouble.


Actually the opposite is true. Shipping a gun assembled in one piece in a cheap plastic case is the best way of getting the stock cracked. Seen it numerous times. The case gets bent, and the stock is the first to give. Putting a 2x4 in the box with the case will prevent that.

I still takedown every gun I ship if possible and ensure they are separated well.


Yup, exactly. I can't imagine shipping a normal double with the barrels mounted to the receiver.
