I have shipped many, many, many rifles over the years and received as many through the mail. I narrowly averted disaster once on one that I took delivery of. Thankfully that has been the only time. I prefer to ship and receive rifles fully assembled sans bolt if necessary, but I would prefer complete assembly. Here is some good advice if a rifle has some value or may not easily be replaced. Ironically, the disaster that was averted was with one of the cheap big box cases and I took delivery of it with the bolt hanging out of the case miraculously clinging for dear life by the bolt knob. Anymore I break into a cold sweat at the thought of sticking my irreplaceable firearms in the mail.
