I would like this cheap case to ship a rifle to factory for repair. Would the box the case comes in be suitable to use as a shipping container with t

I wouldn't use it to ship my gun. I think you might have a case to visit a local gun store to see what they recommend.

In my opinion, it appears that the rifle should be well protected inside the case and then inside the cardboard box, assuming you're only asking about protection from any usual shipping damage.

Not sure what the "t" represents. This case is OK, there is only one place for a lock but there are 4 latches which could be taped over to make it secure. I would use it to ship a gun.

The case itself would likely survive the fall, but if you have four handguns in it (or even two or three) they would slam together, possibly marring the finish of one or more. The egg-crate foam does not fit snugly enough to prevent movement of the contents. I carry a Ruger Blackhawk .357, Ruger .22LR/.22WMR, S&W; .357, and Ruger LC9 in mine, and even with gentle handling they still move.

Here is a complete product review I did on that Gun Case.http://askafirearmsquestion.blogspot.com/2015/01/firearm-forum-question-reviewing.html

IMO it would be perfect for a duty weapon. Should be great for duty type ammo.

' Don't have a clear recollection of the box it came in but if my sketchy memory serves me it was pretty tightly packed. I think it would serve the purpose you've described if you secured the rifle in the case and then the case in the box.... Jim Moorhouse

The owner's manual specifically claims this safe is NOT to be used for guns and/or ammo. The only thing I can think is that under the heat conditions that the box is intended to withstand (internally), it could make your ordinance go off. And that could create a fire inside the box and/or the exploding ammo could destroy your electronics and/or documents. This is just a guess.

Yes, use shipping box as a work bench. Need second set of hands for hinges on lid.

Paul,,, I have never received anything but positive results from amazon in ten years! However, I did have to return one item in all that time and they are fantasic in this area so maybe you would want to return the gun and pick up the case/gun from another source. I do like keeping my gun in the case away from dusk and added protection. (just a thought) ! good luck

Answer here...What's the dimensions of your rifle? The case your asking about is a slimline case which has the lenght and height - but does not expand very much - niether do the pockets. Truely, I'm not a big fan of this case. If your looking for a more 'business' like case, check out the "Allen Tejon" case.

Mine arrived in a case within a box, the box was very secure. I don't think you should have any issues.

I used it to ship 2 ARs (long and short), plus a shotgun to hawaii. No problem.

I have two different skb cases. One with & 1 without lock. The one with lock appears to be & if I recall the one guaranteed to be able to go in cargo. I've never the opportunity to travel with this case, but I think it's sturdy enough to handle it. The big concern are the cargo inspectors who may open your case & handle your guitar. Do you allow strangers who do not appreciate your guitar to handle it. The case is fine, it will handle it. You might be better off paying ups the $25 cargo to ship it. Check it out.

It certainly would if you didn't also have a rifle in the case. If you have a rifle in it, whether the small end is forced up depends upon what you put in the pouch. I keep a .22 lever gun in the case, and a few hundred rounds of .22LR ammo in the pouch. It doesn't cause the small end to rise because the rifle's barrel weighs it down.I don't use it to carry the gun; it is stored in it. When I use it, I only carry it to the car. There is also a shoulder strap for carrying, if you don't want to use the handles.BTW, the pouch has clever Velcro straps in it so you can, arguably, securely hold several magazines of ammo in it.It's a nice rifle case; I like it.

I dont have the box with me, its on the boat. However, it is a SMALL ammo box. It will hold road flares, folded up paperwork but not much else.

Mine was packaged well. Had enough damping inside the box to protect it. Plus the case itself wont let your contents move around.
