hedd-wyn Posted September 11, 2012 Report Share Posted September 11, 2012 (edited) Any of you guys have any tips on how to pack an air rifle and scope ready for shipping? Just sold my arid rifle and will be handing it over to the RDF tomorrow ready for shipping. I was told to wrap it up as much as I could before doing so, so I've taken the scope off an separately wrapped both in bubble wrap and put them into a gun slip. Do you reckon this will be ok? Or am I missing something out (apart from the box) Edited September 11, 2012 by hedd-wyn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigman Posted September 11, 2012 Report Share Posted September 11, 2012 Make sure you pack inside each end of the box with bubble wrap to stop it sliding about Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walshie Posted September 12, 2012 Report Share Posted September 12, 2012 I've only sent a shotgun, but I wrapped it in bubble wrap, put it in the box then packed the ends and free space with scrunched up newspaper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hedd-wyn Posted September 12, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 12, 2012 Great, seems that Ive done it the correctly. Was expecting someone to say that bubble wrap can damage the blueing or something like that. Cheers HEDD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It'll take the blueing right off and rot the wood, but at least it won't have any dents in it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
