Unless it was returned in the same packing that you mailed it the 'smith, I believe the gun should be "bought" at the pre-damage appraisal by the person who packed it and let them worry about selling it. James, how can we forget your receipt of a damaged gun mailed loose in a box swithout packing material mailded from Europe to Canada. Conversely, Stan bought an Aussie gun packed the same way and received it undamaged. Gil
Every time we ship something we incur risk. Can't be helped, only mitigated.
