Indians For Guns

You can never underestimate the P.O. ; just when you feel all fuzzy after paying the duties and taking a beautiful weapon home, you realise that you are dead.

They have dropped the parcel so hard and so often that the bolt has dinged the wood and the metal. As a result the bolt won't go back to cock the trigger or reveal the loading port.

So after spending some twenty grand all that I have at the moment is a formidable paper weight. So guys please insist on layers of bubble wrap when you order stuff by mail.

I don't think I'm ever gonna get anything more.

Aaaaaah... That's a crying shame! However, I hope all is not lost and the gun is still retrievable. I trust our resident smith Signor Rustyshould be able to help with this. Let us know.

I guess the morons throw about the parcels. Could it be intentional ?

Very sad indeed but suggest you mail pics to Mack The Knife .

Did you contemplate claiming damages ?

I assume the dent in the wood is just cosmetic damage?

When you say the bolt handle has dinged the metal, do you mean it has created a dimple in the receiver?

Need some close pics as I am unfamiliar with this one.

The wood damage is cosmetic, the metal also is like a small nick. The good news is that after talking to the rifle in a gentle voice and coaxing the bolt a bit, it worked free. The bolt is now working but the trigger sear isn't engaging.

So I'll either take it to a renowned air gunsmith on Friday or take the advise from the yellow forum board and do it myself. It is such a beauty that you can hardly believe that it is a toy.

Will post pics thru Monsieur Mack The Knife on Sun or Sat.
