[Milsurplus] Shipping heavy metal

[Bob kb8tq]

Hi

Back in the day, you could put a model 15 on the plane as “baggage” and there was no up charge. 
I have empirical evidence to back up that claim :) :) :)

Surprisingly for a completely unpackaged / wrapped up in no way item, it came through in good shape.
