Many inexpensive hard cases have plastic pillars which have been shown to gouge stocks and sometimes break triggers if the gun is sent broken down. The best way to secure it is to cut slits in the foam inserts and then slip something through to strap it in. A layer of bubble wrap doesn't hurt...

Sounds like one of their 'tin plate" models made from thick stamped steel and having a brass barrel liner. I would stick to pellets instead of BB's if you get it. They were pretty basic, introductory kids' rifles and are leather sealed. These guns could be German made or the English "Milbro"...
