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

Details

So I had a Saiga full conversion AK74 done. Gunsmith shipped, tracking started, then after leaving Greensboro NC hasn’t scanned since. He didn’t take any extra insurance out.

Do I have any recourse? Guessing he should have some sort of liability insurance.

Also, what would you say the value would be? All replacement parts are original Izhmash, including folding stock.

Had both a black and plum bayonet also as he was going to repaint the metal on them.

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

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.

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.
