Gun Talk Gunsmith did work, shipped gun but USPS lost, any recourse

That sucks so f'n bad, Sorry about your loss brother 🙁 idk about exact value but i wouldn't settle for less than 3k, seeing as izzy parts alone are stupid expensive now, prolly worth more overall including bayonets and price of rear trunnion work and so on

One month since first scanned, last scan in Greensboro was March 23. Missing mail filed April 4th.

Damn that’s rough. He didn’t send with signature either?

Deiceman20 · Apr 18, 2025

I don’t believe so. Just priority with no extra insurance.

Fuck… man I remember seeing this post too about how it was in the works… I really really hope they find your rifle. I would be super destroyed if I lost something as sick as that. Keep us up to date for sure, I agree with poster above… don’t settle for anything less than 3000 hell, see how much the parts where, how much the work was and then shipping. Should get you to the 3200 all said and done mark.

I think Inhad about $3500 if you include the two bayonets in the box.

That sucks brother sorry to hear that, you are definitely owed some money. Wouldn’t take anything lower than $3700 for the inconvenience of them losing your gun. My question is who would be held responsible, whoever it was shipped with or the Gunsmith. Non the less Hope it all works out for you man and if you celebrate, have a good Easter.

I wouldn’t lose hope
Iv had at least three packages with take waaaaay to long to show up or appear to move on tracking.
The last one finally showed up yesterday … a Romanian G Barrel that was shipped from California on March 15th.
I had a drop bag from nj to ga take three weeks.
On two occasions Iv seen tracking not change or update for two weeks .. usually saying weather delay.

It will have to turn out, it has to.. I would report it to the police and have them get on the USPS. That's fricken sucks man. And I don't understand why people don't insure those shipments for the full amount that's worth. Never have gun shipped without paying extra for full coverage. Damn.
If this is UPS or FedEx it will show up sometimes it doesn't get scanned.

This bigtime. USPS sucks ass when it comes to any kind of customer service or finding lost packages.

Sovietcollecter · May 20, 2025

Any update ?

GSDs Rule · May 23, 2025

The Gunsmith needs to reimburse you. USPS needs to settle with Gunsmith. Sue the Gunsmith if he dont settle with you .

I recently had a firearm related package lost by usps, apparently a “sub” was on my route and threw my package into a neighbors box. The post master admitted to the issue being on them and sadly, not a single thing was done to help fix the issue. Countless phone calls, emails, etc. USPS is DOG SHIT, they won’t help with anything. Good luck bro, give them fucking hell.
