that's easy Jabali. I waited 18 months for a custom .22LR from the states (and it cost me A LOT !!)
It arrived at my Spanish gun dealer in one of those hard black plastic "unbreakable" cases. Three
corners of the case were shattered. Amazingly the foam had held the gun in place and it suffered
no damage but I emailed the manufacturer and told him to start using ally cases with custom fitted foam. It's amazing what you see though. I was coming back to Spain last year and there were 4 guys
in front of me checking guns through customs, all pairs of Purdeys and Hollands, one William evans pair I think and they were all in oak and leather cases but the cases were decrepit. I asked the chaps if that was how they were having them put in the hold. "There won't be a problem" they said.
I pray they were right. If I were travelling long haul with a pair the best thing is a fitted
double motorcase which then goes INTO a custom ally box fitted for the guncase. A nice touch with Iberia the other day (and I was in economy !) the head steward walked up me before take off to
assure me my guns were loaded on the plane. Thats is a good feeling, best, Mike
