Really bizarre Gary. That happened to me twice on guns that were shipped to my address and tracking showed they were coming in the right direction, then for some unknown reason they got diverted across the country. All ended well but a couple of weeks late.

It was an interesting lot Mills, When I called and got MWT etc they were better than the description in the book so I took a chance the rifle has a cracked stock that needs repair and the grade2 has a repair to the stock, but barrels were better than described so I was infected with Parkeritis and bid, Gary

I wound up with several pre 64 Model 70's. I missed out on the 8 gauge and a SBT, but got the SBT discussed on another thread which is much better. Also bit the bullet and bought a svelte VH 16 on 0 frame with original 26" barrels.

Gary sorry to hear, have you contacted the shipper to put a tracer on the package? The squeaky wheel gets the grease. I have lost two packages recently, I am glad they were not firearms.
