Thank God they found it!

Thank goodness it's not dangerous. Not a black automatic clip ammo gun.

Of course it’s dangerous. Have you ever dropped that much weight on your toe? That box could have done some serious damage had it fallen on a foot.

Probably good advertising for ponying up the extra for the shipping insurance. My fear would be, even though it was found, it’s probably not “like new” any more.

So do Barretts!!

Not ships, medium sized boats maybe, but ships?

I always considered it to be a negative situation when you have to pay them extra to do their job right the first time.

All joking aside, this was a win. Whoever took it was too stupid to realize what they had, or they knew exactly what they had and no way to offload it. But having an 82A1 on the street is a BAD thing for everyone, and now that it’s off the street, I feel better.

I get that. But...they state in their contract with you how much they’ll cover losses (IIRC), so we have to roll the dice. I’ve done it before and so far haven’t gotten anything stolen like this.

It doesn't even have a shoulder thingie that goes up.

 

[DadSmith]

If it found it's way to a Chicago gangbanger I wonder what kind of damage they would cause with one?

It doesn't change the fact you MUST pay them more to do their job properly the first time. I get the insurance thing. I shipped thousands of items through UPS, USPS, Fedex, DHL, etc.

Local ING writes off a TOE M60 as unserviceable. Replacement arrives via US Mail late Friday afternoon. Box sits outside leaned up against the wall at the main entrance. Armory is rented for the next day for a wedding. It was still there Monday morning. I'm guessing someone had a bad Monday.

I see what you mean, if my wife found out I left a perfectly serviceable M60 that was supposed to be our wedding gift behind at the Armory, Monday would have SUCKED!

Figured someone would have to sign for a parcel like this

 

[Ricnzak]

Who would be foolish enough to store a rifle in a delivery trailer?

(Too soon?)

No!

Dude imagine being a methhead who raided a UPS truck and came home to open up a friggin' Barrett.

I think he was referring to Methane Herder's post:

Probably couldn’t afford ammo, that’s why it showed back up

Yeah, I'm guessing Don's Guns doesn't sell little baggies of .50 BMG.

 

[VUPDblue]

He probably would sell “loosies” for 49.95

I can't imagine that the USPO would allow a Box' O M60 on the premises, much less transport and deliver the thing.

Apparently that was the drill at the time.
