[QUOTE="Buffalobob, post: 104840, member: 8"] SS7MM [ QUOTE ] If you use UPS and the action is expensive and you insure it they will want to inspect the packing. Do not seal the top of the box as they will cut it open. They require 2 inches of foam on all sides. The box is not allowed to rattle or bump. Everything must be tight fitted inside the box. Next day air is expensive but it isn't handled by as many people who might take a liking to your fancy expensive action. If you know the email of your gunsmith and take it with you then you can enter his email into the tracking system and both he and you will recieve tracking notices. [/ QUOTE ] The first trip they cut my box open and checked the padding and I only had an inch on the ends -good ethafoam so it would not be have been a problem, but I had to go back home and find a larger box and repack everything. You see where I live geographically and you ask if I am going into a place and yell out "hey, I got a gun in a box." I may be somewhat crazy but I am not stupid. I drive an extra 30 minutes to get out to a UPS where people are a little more accepting of pickup trucks and guns. Where I live people complain that my pickup truck runs down the neighborhood property values and that my vette restoration project is against the law (which it is ). But they only complain to my wife, not me, being as I often have a big wrench in one hand a beer in the other. And they don't seem to want to talk to the wrench. [/QUOTE]
