Howdy All
I am about to place my Buchel Meister up for sale. My main concern is how to ship it without damage. It won't fit a standard hard case. The thumb pulpit would likely be broken. Any advice on a good shipping case?

Thanks Tom

I like to disassemble rifles and then build up a solid block made of layers of sheet foam insulation with individual cutouts for the barreled action, the stock components,, the buttplate and action parts.  metal parts are all cleaned and lightly oiled than wrapped in cotton cloth or those synthetic micro-fiber cloths.  Stock and forend is cleaned and waxed then wrapped as well. the foam block is well wrapped in tape and plastic then put it a heavy cardboard box built to enclose it tightly and solidly.
It makes a pretty unobtrusive package.  (you could even send the stock  and the barreled action in different packages)   nothing moves rattles or says "gun inside" to the package handlers.  Its just a little longer that the of length of the barreled action.

I have sent a couple and received a couple.   On two sent out I enclosed photocopied reassembly instructions for the DeHass books.

Needless to say I discussed this at length with the buyers and advised shippers who were ending stuff to me.

as a collector & shooter of German schuetzen rifles, I will be looking forward to you listing the rifle.

Go to Dallas every 6 weeks or so for a little R&R,
