Well...USPS refunded and cancelled the money order I send with the wood and action. I went to the main post office and was lucky enough to find the post master actually was a gun guy and knew exactly what it was that i/they lost. He even went as far as getting a blue book price/value on line while I was there to help me with my claims value. He submitted it to his bosses for further research. I don't think his boss will care as much, but this guy was truly apologetic for them losing it. I did report the loss to state police and gave them the serial number. I think it is gone forever, but you never know. I'm not going to sell off the remaining parts just yet.
