A few days ago I shipped a custom gun back to my smith for some work and when I took it to the pack and ship store they asked what was in it. I said it was custom carbon fiber tubing and then I had them insure it. It got me thinking about what my recourse would be if it was lost and I claimed it was a gun? I'm assuming I would be SOL but it got to the smith fine.
Now, I just got an email from my smith saying the gun is on it's way back to me, not the ffl. I specifically asked if he had to send it to my ffl again, and he said no, so it's coming right to my house. This is also through UPS.
