Ive sent a few guns through ups with no hitches thank god, but a gun dealer friend of mine sends atleast 20 a week through ups you should hear half of his horrors stories. what happens alot from what ive heard is the guns get stolen by employees. I hope they find your gun.

On gunbroker.com they usually go for around 300 to 400 bucks. I doubt that helps any though. good luck I hope you get that settled without tomuch trouble.
