Never underestimate the ingenuity or resourcefulness of a shipping concern's ability to break the shipped item. I can visualize off hours shipping employees chewing the fat experimenting: "Well, it survived a 10 foot drop. Try 11."
I am still baffled how this gun was broken while shipped in a plastic gun case. The seller was more disturbed than me as the buyer. The gun was unpacked by my LGS and the refund by the seller was prompt. If I had to guess, seller violated the rule of shipping a gun with the barrel assembled to the receiver giving leverage to the mysterious force applied. Gil
