Not to pirate the thread.......BUT......When are you guys going to learn not to ship, or receive anything with UPS. That's a dirty shame......survived 100 years, just to be desecrated by an uncaring UPS machine. The last rifle box I was handed by the UPS guy, had a forklift tire track across the middle! Fortunately, the shipper had inserted two, sturdy, plastic sleeves in the packing. And the pre-64 Model 70 .220 Swift was unharmed. The driver waited until I unpacked the box to check for damage.
Not too long ago, I returned my third new, smashed, radiator for my 8N Ford.......I told the UPS guy not to worry.....He wouldn't have to take back a fourth......I went and bought one locally, that had been shipped by truck freight.......Cost 50 bucks more, but at least it was undamaged.........
Ship USPS and insure heavily............Grant.
