VapoDog:
Do you think you can find that add again?
IIRC it was on the back page of one of the hunting rags.....something like articles from 50 years ago....and there was an old add from J C Higgins
Sorry...not likely that I can find it again
FWIW.....you insured the package for $X.XX amount.......if they lost it and it's insured just go to a small claims court and file a claim in the amount of $X.XX plus filing costs and see what happens.....it's what you insured it for that's important.....not at all what the gun is worth!!!!!
