It CAN happen..In shipping...

[Jerry VanHorn]

A while back, I sent the 32" 16 gauge barrels to Breck G. to rust blue. They needed it, and being one of 216 guns..I wanted it nice..Breck did a beautiful job on the barrels..and sent me photos before they shipped. FEDEX delivered the barrels last Friday..The barrels were wrapped in heavy paper....2 layers of bubble wrap...AND were shipped in a PVC tube..My first thought was that the tube had to have been opened..to put that big a dent in the barrels...I took another piece of the same tubing..wrapped an old pair of barrels..sealed the tube..and beat on it with a hammer..NOTHING !..Breck had the barrels insured for 1K..and he is filing the paperwork. I imagine we will have to come up with a value on the gun...and how much the value has diminished. He is in the process of fixing it. FEDEX will fight this , and we will never know what happened for sure.....I always use USPS ??
