The annoying part is that the item will be sent to the USA from Hong Kong (5 days shipping time) accordingly, and then sent on to me. But it will still work out cheaper!

Yes, I think the 'problem' is with the RFD. I don't believe for one minute that a rifle and two moderators have been lost by Parcelforce. And RFD to RFD is usually within 24hrs.

Nothing to do with the Christmas rush as the rifle was handed to the RFD over a week ago. And, I only put my friend in touch with the seller, so it's out of my hands, so to speak.

A friend of mine has bought a rifle from another friend of mine and arranged to have it sent from the sellers RFD to a local one here in south Wales. The rifle was handed in to the sellers RFD over a week ago and nothing has been sent. My friend inquired about this and was told that the RFD who was sending the rifle 'is having problems with Parcelforce' and it will be another two weeks before it's sent. According to the RFD, he has already 'lost' two moderators and a rifle' that were sent and 'the police are involved'. I won't mention where the RFD is based as the rifle that was purchased is from a good friend of mine who is a very trustworthy PW member.

Merry Christmas and a Happy, Healthy and Prosperous New Year to you all.

Claimed.

Same with our GP practice (unless you are on benefits!!!!)

Thanks. I'm not interested in purchasing one myself, but thought I would mention it.

Sorry, Mel, but that's an insult to animals. They don't torture or murder their offspring.

I have three issues ( Nov'24/Dec' 24, Jan'25) if anyone wants them. Very clean condition from a smoke free home. All I ask is that the postage is paid, which should be under £5:00

With luck, they die of illness/ 'old' age before they are allowed to apply for parole.

Totally agree.
