What they said. It cannot hurt to overdo the wrapping. I too use newspaper in the case, case wrapped in foam or equivalent (but NOT PEANUTS) and a good corrugated box. Works well no matter which shipper. Here in SE Michigan, UPS works best. USPS is second because it is slightly less convenient for me. I understand this varies all over the country but UPS has worked for me in Montana, Maryland, New York and Michigan. I ship overnight or registered and never let the gun sit somewhere over a nonbusiness day.
