Does anyone know how to pack stuff? I think I’m 4/7 for private sellers sending me barrels sticking out of the shipping container
They act like slide hammers when shipped lol

Lol sounds like my wife and my “shipping department “My wife asks me why I keep the heavy cardboard tubes whenever I get one.
“Shipping barrels, of course...”
She just shakes her head and walks away.

I’ve had barrels arrive sticking out of those tubes too. Need to really tape them and or put some screws through the ends
The best free packing I've found is plastic grocery sacks. We always have a ton of them and I use them as packing filler, better than bubble wrap, and who the hell has a newspaper subscription these days (the only better alternative)? I completely limit movement virtually without any added bulk and weight to the package, just stuff one end up, insert barrel in the middle, and start stuffing all around it to limit movement.Lol sounds like my wife and my “shipping department “

This! Pluse tape the shit out of the end of boxes.I at least make sure to wrap them heavily with bubble wrap, and double or triple the cardboard layers on each end. Limiting movement as much as possible helps too.
But, but the crown was recessed
Wow an AI barrel no less, not that it is ok on any rifle, but a AI WTF
Yeah and a lot of times it is $1000 + I have a few contractors I work for that will spend a dollar to save a nickel, but they can't see it. Its those types that are doing this kind of stupidity.It never ceases to amaze me that people would risk having to refund a $100 + purchase to save $3.00 in packing materials.
The 6.5g AR Stoner barrels (24" and a spare 20") I got from Midway were very well packaged.
AC pipe wrap foam, tape, hard foam stuck in PVC pipe. Obviously you get a ton in each pipe but they’ll make it unscathed.I manufacture and ship gun barrels for a living. I'd like better ideas on how to ship hundreds of barrels at once with little to no carnage during transit. I use crates, pallets, foam, netting, reinforced layers...ect still, somehow little marks or scuffs always occur.
Good if you get the PVC back, otherwise this but in hard cardboard tubes.AC pipe wrap foam, tape, hard foam stuck in PVC pipe. Obviously you get a ton in each pipe but they’ll make it unscathed.
Most of the various foam type products will prevent scuffing...IF you can prevent movement. No shifting along the x, y or z axes. NO movement allowed inside of the package. Consider the weight of the barrel, especially the weight of the entire barrel focused on say the muzzle...lots of psi there! The padding material should not crush to the point of failure and then allow movement, exacerbating the issue. Your employer should hire someone to design shipping containers for their barrels. The cost would be rapidly offset by fewer complaints and return of damaged goods.I manufacture and ship gun barrels for a living.
