NMFC 91720 - Gun Barrels, steel, NOI, in boxes | Class 100

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. Protect each barrel with an oil wrap and end caps, then use a double-wall corrugated box with foam or partitions so the barrel can’t roll or punch through.
2. For multiple barrels, sleeve each piece and use a master carton; keep lengths under common LTL overlength triggers (about 96–108 in) when possible to avoid fees.
3. On the BOL, list NMFC 91720, Class 100, packaging “boxes,” and non-hazardous. Don’t mix crates or tubes in the same shipment, and confirm carrier rules for firearm components.
4. Palletize long cartons flat on a 48x96 when needed, strap and stretch-wrap, and add orientation arrows and ‘Do Not Fork Here’ notes to protect crowns and threads.

Note: All classifications are subject to Item 170. Verify with official NMFC publications for the most current requirements.

• Fixed Class 100 means predictable rating with no density math, speeding quotes and reducing reclass disputes.
• Boxed presentation improves carrier acceptance and lowers damage claims on precision steel components.
• Non-hazardous status simplifies tendering and avoids hazmat surcharges, training, and paperwork.
• Thoughtful packaging can limit overlength and special handling fees, improving landed costs and margins.
