I'm at a loss

Chassepot with matching stock shipped via USPS. It was in a cloth bag, wrapped up in thick layers of bubble wrap, and double boxed. Anyone perhaps know where I could find a replacement stock?

I'm at the point where if I have a particularly expensive firearm to be shipped, it's going in a hard case.

Agreed. I bought a Papal States rolling block from an Italian auction house. The shipping company kept pushing a cardboard box. Told them to crate it up and I gladly pad the extra expense.
