Need boxes - HELP!

[sean69]

I need rifle sized boxes! HELP!! I seem to have exhausted all mine.

anyone in the Oshawa/Whitby/Bowmanville area with 3 rifle sized boxes please PM me. [or one 3 rifle ~sized~ box]

Even if you bought a large appliance lately [refrigerator?] I can make my own from that.

You can even have them back when I am done, I'm sending out some rifles to Vulcan for refinishing... I dare say Nick will ship them back in ~something~

Help!

-thanks

If you have access to any place that uses the 48 inch fluorescent light tubes or even light shades, these can be cut down to make decent rifle boxes. Just a suggestion.

Moving companies sell them for ~3$.

Crappy Tire sells plastic rifle cases for $20. A good investment. I use zip ties through the lock holes for security when mailing.

Yea - I tried a bunch of dumpster diving, but all the places use those big cardboard compactors now

tried Uhaul, nothing of the right size [and nothing like $3!! $20 - $30!!]

gonna try an appliance place today, see if I can get a refrigerator box to cut down. maybe go with the rifle case idea....

Try a plumber. I have used water heater boxes in the past. It takes a bit of origami skill, but the cardboard is nice and heavy and a good length to start with.

It's off season, and I don't know if you have any ski shops there, but ski boxes work brilliantly.

Fed Ex and, I think, UPS sells 'em. Mind you, shipping a firearm in such an obvious container puts a great big "Steal This" sign on it.

Hooray!

Went to can-tire for some locks and luckily it was "restock the sporting goods aisle' day!

Begged some bulk fishing rod boxes - perfect length and that nice double thick cardboard.

Thanks guys.

[man can-tire sell a lot of fishing rods!!]

I go to a local golf store, they have tons of perfect sized boxes for shipping rifles. (free, too!)
