One down-side to sending guns by UPS/FedEx
« on: May 23, 2003, 05:36:58 AM »
Getting my Win 97 back from Coyote Cap; or at least I'm hoping to.  Seems UPS needs a signature at the address and you can't send them over to a neighbors to get it.  Has to be you or the Mrs. and you have to be home.   :?
So I'm sitting here, took a day off, and hoping no more snags.  Cowboy shoot is tomorrow so if there is a mess-up I'll be borrowing a scatter-gun for the shoot--hope not.
Will keep you posted on the delivers and the action job Coyote did.

Well, shotgun showed up and noon.  Don't know who was happier, the UPS guy or me.  If I hadn't been home he would have had to bring it back for a third and final try.
Shotgun comes back in a nice plastic case.  I'll be using it to transport my long arms to and from the range.
Action is soooo much better.  And the replacement stock and forearm are nice.  Nothing fancy but they match and have nice color.
Will have to see tomorrow what the lenghtening of the forcing cone and the rechambering means to full power loads.  I am not expecting the recoil of a 410 but hope it is less than it was.  
All in all, glad I did it.
