Once Lewman dropped off the package his side of the deal is done. I hope Fedex pays out your claim and it sucks that that gun is probably gone forever. That’s just the roll of the dice. We all play this game.
I'm waiting for the f4 to come back on my first MG. It's an NPM converted m2 carbine. A Reising m50 is next. If I can swing another gun after that it will probably be a jap 96/99 with conversion, or a pre may MG34. If I somehow win the lottery or some uncle dies off and leaves me a vast fortune then I'd talk eMGunslinger out of the type 24 he is sitting on.
