Well, I'd put it in a box first~!

I mail long guns all the time (NO AMMUNITION)

If the clerk doesn't like it, ask for the postmaster. Very easy to do.

plastic cases work, cardboard, peanuts, plastic wrap. Lots of stuff works. A packed box, packed inside another box with peanuts in between is one of my favorites.

Ask for a confirmation of delivery and issure it, of course.
