anyone know where to get a box to ship a plastic gun case?

I have had a hard time finding one, might have to rig something up I guess.

ups / local mailing store OR the local gun store. That's where i get them from. They usually toss the outer sleeves rifles come in.

I've tried ups and usps, they don't have anything that quite works. the local gun store isn't a bad idea, i might have to try that out.

Can you just make your own box with cardboard and tape?

this was the last resort. the problem is i did this last time to ship a barrel and even after doing it up pretty tight the barrel somehow came out in shipping and usps never found it. coincidence? maybe, but I'm not sure i was to risk it again.

Maybe hit up Home Depot for a box that originally contained fluorescent tubes? That could probably be made to work with a little creativity.

Depending on the size, ask a local guitar center/music store if you can help yourself to one of the guitar boxes they toss.

I bought a pelican replica from Cabelas last year that I used to fly my G19 back with from CO. It was really nicely padded and lockable. It was less than $50 IIRC.

He's wanting a box to cover the rifle case. Less eye's, less temptation.

Behind any successful bike shop. Will need to be modified but those are generally fairly sturdy boxes.
