    Together again.....

    Some may of read my post regarding a scope I was trying to bring in for my No4T, the beginning of the process is in the thread link below

    https://www.milsurps.com/showthread.php?t=61534

    After I eventually got a refund for custom charges etc and an apology off Border force (but nothing off Royal Mail) I decided to lay low for a while, The scope I was sending to USAicon was all ready to go but I was very reluctant to send before Christmas time as I'd only got the refund back in October.

    So I enquired the different postal options and was about to use UPS, until I seen a van drive off with a parcel on the floor......... DHL lost some very important documents in the past so thought I'd try parcel Force, I was hoping to use Royal mail air sure which is very good but as I wanted the insurance "just in case" I had use Parcel Force.....

    So I sent Ron an email and said it would be on its way and it was sent, of course I'm always checking the tracking and after two days nothing happened...... so I left it till after the weekend but nothing......

    I was thinking the worse and how unlucky I am with No32 scopes, so I begun the process of trying to find out and locate it, after a few phone calls was advised to start a claim, I phoned coventry to find out if it was there but they needed an email from Liverpool to ask them to see if they could find it, so a week went by and eventually it was back on the radar.

    What happened to it and if it did get checked at Border force I don't know, but not very good for the blood pressure and stress factor.

    So once in the USA it didn't hang around long and I emailed Ron that an attempted delivery was made and he picked it up in the Afternoon.

    A big sigh of relief from me, So finally scope No 24635 is back on its rifle...... and Ron has a very good replacement for his.

    The original bracket may be out there somewhere, but for now sits in an other original.


    So a big Thanks again to Ron, Colin and an old Warlord Agent, a few pics below
