1. The rifle is laid out on the middle layer of foam and its outline cut out with a razor knife or, more easily, with a hot knife. [Cross-lined foam is what marine docking fenders are made of.]
2. The middle layer of foam is placed over the bottom layer.
3. The rifle is wrapped in the anti-rust sheeting and placed into the outlined and cut cavity of the middle layer. 
4. The top layer is placed over the middle layer and the three-layer sandwich is fitted into the box, which is sealed - preferably with hot glue and shipping tape. 

These kits are not cheaper than the plastic case you propose to use, but I've never had a firearm damaged in the twenty years I've used them. Even when the box itself was damaged.

Any help is appreciated.

You can also order it on Amazon but I think they collect Texas sales tax.

Because I know a nice Sharps can turn the head of the most avid Winchester collector,  the authors of the 4-volume set have published a boiled down Collector's Guide that summarizes all the relevant details of every model.and style. It is beautifully and copiously illustrated and well worth the price. About sixty bucks hardbound. Mine came yesterday and you want it for your reference library. 
  

Where can I order this?

It's unfortunate to hear this, as You and I had a nice transaction back in the spring time here.

You're too good of a guy to have this happen to you!

I'm in agreement with Bert.

I sent Venmo 1/2 of payment 
 
i have sent certified Ck if full amount to other WACA members without a problem and since this message was on WACA forms from M70hunter I assumed he was real 
I will now meet everyone in person even if that means flying across country or not buy anything
if you look at the first message it came M70hunter registered on here
  

Randy,

Rule #1...  Never send any form of electronic payment to an unknown "seller'.  That is a dead giveaway that it is a SCAM.  Unfortunately, the WACA website (forums) is routinely targeted by Scammers (just as thousands of other websites are targeted by the Scammers around the globe).

Rule #2... if the seller is not an active full WACA Member, proceed with caution!  Always engage in direct communication with a seller prior to sending any funds.  If a seller is not willing to talk with you (phone call), that too is a strong clue that you are dealing with a Scammer.

Sorry to hear this brother Randy! I would check out Guntab for future use. Anyone can sign up for it and it is an escrow system that holds the money and won’t release to the seller until tracking proves it was delivered and you confirm it is as represented or 3 days passes if you don’t respond. I love it as both a buyer and a seller. Works with cc or ach check. I hope you get your money back my friend! If you find him let us know if you need help hiding the body 😀 if I don’t hear otherwise I can vouch you were at church all day the day he disappeared so it couldn’t be you! 😳

Per the WACA registration information, M70hunter is Keith Brouhard and his email is - keithbrouhard@gmail.com.

You did not mention what form of payment you sent to the alleged seller.

Bert
