    I saved some of the boxes from rifles received previously that are in very good condition.

    Logic would say you can't really sell guns till you have received some already. If your nice or the rifle is more valuable shipping in a plastic/foam container would be a good option as well.

    Problem lies in the shipping regulations as to whats on the outside of this box provided in the link.

    When one finds a suitable box ensure to use good brown wrapping paper and lots of packing tape to seal the edges and the seams.
    A good idea is to also place an addressee's shipping information inside the box with the firearm.

    Also a good idea is to ensure the shipping information is legible and covered with packing tape to prevent it from being smeared should it get wet somewhere along the line...think spilled coffee cause Union Thugs have been known to drink coffee at work.

    There cannot be any ammunition in the firearm or in the package. Bullets, cartridges and other ammunition are dangerous goods and cannot be mailed. These items fall under Class 1 (Explosives) of the Canadian Transportation of Dangerous Goods Act and Regulations.

    Customers who wish to ship firearms must:

    *unload the firearms
    *attach a secure locking device to the firearms
    *lock the firearms in a sturdy, non-transparent container, and
    *remove the bolt or bolt carrier from any automatic firearms (if removable).

    Firearms cannot be shipped via air and cannot have any markings on the outside of the packaging. The customer is solely responsible for meeting all Canadian Firearms Centre regulations.

    (From Canada Post web site)


    From the RCMP Web site:
    Q. Can I send firearms in the mail?

    You may ship restricted firearms, non-restricted firearms and prohibited handguns from one Canadian location to another Canadian location if you use the most secure method offered by Canada Post that requires a signature upon delivery. Prohibited firearms, other than prohibited handguns, and firearms being shipped across the Canadian border, must be shipped by an individual or carrier company licensed under the Firearms Act to transport those classes of firearms.

    You are required by law to ship firearms unloaded and in a safe and secure manner to deter loss, theft and accidents.
