My recipe for Bombproof barrel shipping:
2-Hard Rubber 1" chair feet from hardware store, $1.00
1-Pool Noodle from Dollar Store, $1.00
1-Home made box from trash cardboard to allow for 4 layers on the ends and 2 layers on all 4 sides, Zero, Zip, Nada
= Stress free, Bombproof shipping. I think UPS could drive the truck over this (I sometimes think they do) and not damage the threads as they and the muzzle are protected by the chair feet with an nice tight fit.
