Chicago, Paid by check. Cleared my bank last Friday. I may come out ok. The seller may be an honest man. I know his dealer said the gun was not cracked when it left his shop, so why would the seller care? The dealer should be held at fault. As I said, one pice of bubble wrap that was not big enough to wrap around the soft vinyl case inside a single thickness cardboard box that was 6" square is what caused this. UPS is not really to blame. The dealer was responsible. My loss.
