NMFC 91740 - Gun Stocks | Class 70–100

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. Choose the proper NMFC sub based on material and packing method so the shipment lands in the correct Class 70–100; for example, boxed polymer stocks vs. crated wood stocks.
2. Protect inlets, combs, and cheek pieces with foam channels or corrugated edge guards, then double‑wall box; for multi‑unit orders, use divider cartons or a plywood crate with partitions.
3. Palletize long stocks lengthwise with no overhang, add corner boards and a top cap, band over pads, and wrap tightly; mark Fragile and Do Not Stack to curb crush risk.
4. Describe clearly on the BOL: “Gun stocks, non‑serialized parts, NMFC 91740, boxed/crated,” plus count and material; include declared value to streamline carrier handling.

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

• Correct sub‑selection avoids costly reclass and inspection delays, keeping invoices aligned with the intended Class 70–100 rating.
• Damage control through tailored foam/crating reduces chip and crack claims, protecting high‑finish components and customer satisfaction.
• Efficient pack plans—divider cartons and tight pallets—improve cube use and help prevent oversize and minimum‑charge hits in LTL networks.
• Clear labeling and documentation speed cross‑dock handling and receiving, cutting dwell time and reducing administrative back‑and‑forth.
