Bad luck Buzz. The Post Office has been my favorite for shipping guns for years. I use Priority/Insured.

The only gun I ever sent Registered was lost for a couple of weeks, then found. With Registered every hand it goes through must sign and be responsible. In that case a postal employee went on vacation before she could hand the gun off to another agent and she hid it in her locker or somewhere for safe keeping.

In my case my local post office employees were quite concerned and helpful. Here's hoping your barrels show up in a similar fashion...Geo
