If it's anything like my AK model 40 the radio it's self is pretty rugged and and shippable... Though I'd pull the tubes and box them for safety. I always thought these metal box AKs to be a bit utilitarian for the era. Though I was glad I had 2 model 40s when a college friend brought me his AK 40 that had been passed his family since new to fix.
