Seeking stand up folks

[TheGerman]

@TheGerman .... I get that you’re a hide legend/insider, but who in the fuck pays a gunsmith to work on a mosin?

Hey now.

Its a 91/30 ex sniper that when I got it was literally in pristine condition. Managed to get a matched to themselves original PU scope and PU scope mount/base for it.

Figured instead of me attempting this stupidity by myself, I'd send it to someone who was referred as GTG to undertake this. The mount work was probably the only thing the guy did right thank God.

 

[TheBigCountry]

All of your comments are not appreciated!

Page 2 so now allowed by hide bylaw

Is this still available?

 

[DarnYankeeUSMC]

So which moderator is going all necrophilia with the old unused names??

 

[pmclaine]

Read the entire OP.

Pulled the trigger too fast on my initial comment having experienced too may boxes of projectiles sent my way leaking bullets.

On review sender agreed to make you whole but it seems you came here just to twist the knife.

Your refusal to send it back indicates you got the scope at a price that would suggest that level of packaging.

I rarely post on this site but I'm on extended vacation like a lot of folks which leaves me with plenty of time to shoot, spot, and bitch on forums like this one, so here goes.

I ordered an optic from a guy on this site. Got a good price on it, and it's just in time for a finished new build, so I figured "great." Only it shows up looking like the pic attached. Really man? I can just imagine the thing flying around the back of a FedEx truck for a thousand miles. These scopes are tough but I don't want to test the theory before I've even zeroed the thing. Now, I'm not a college graduate or anything (although I DO have 2 PhD's out in the shed...Post-hole Diggers), and I've been working in the trades for most of my life in one form or another, but I DO possess a certain degree of horse sense. Whoever packed this scope clearly does NOT possess the same. So the guy says his "assistant" packed it, and usually she does a fine job. Is his assistant an eight-year old?...most likely not. But THEN, the gentlemen in question, and I use that term loosely, has the BALLS to wonder if the package "did actually look like that or not" when it was delivered. Seriously, man? He says "send it back, I'll refund you when I get it, blah blah blah." No, motherfucker, I'll head out to the range and try and zero the thing first. SO that brings me to what I see as the problems facing our country these days. Just a couple of overall attitudes and behavioral issues that should not be left to fester and mutate

1.) Not giving a fuck about anyone, or anything outside of your tiny blasting radius, and
2.) Not willing to admit fault or take responsibility for shit

I consider myself damn fortunate, really lucky to be honest, that I was brought up better than that. I was taught to GIVE A FUCK. In this case, it ain't much, especially considering that you're shipping a piece of equipment worth a couple thousand bucks. We agreed on a price and you got paid $1000+ so now throw some fucking newspaper in the box. Put some tape around the goddamn thing. Maybe a piece of bubble wrap. How fucking hard is it? Put some goddamned effort into your day. It doesn't matter what you do. GIVE A FUCK.
#2, Own your Shit. You fucked up. Own it. I can't tell you how many times I've fucked up. Luckily nobody died because of my fuckups, but it's part of life. But don't be a goddamned Barney and start accusing me of fabricating some shit because of YOUR fuckup. That's pure bush league, pussy behavior. OWN YOUR SHIT. That's one thing I like about Jocko, the dude says it all the time.
So look, I'm seeing this kind of "I don't give a fuck behavior" all over this great country. The problem is, it's like cancer. Once it starts to metastasize, it's hard to stop.
Maybe I'm just getting old, and a few steps away from yelling at the kids to get off my lawn. But seriously, we've got enough grown ass men and women in this country who act like fucking children to have to take on any more. Grow the fuck up. Rant over. Happy 4th (don't blow your fingers off lol)

I already tell people to get off my lawn..........

[daylate]

That a midway box?...... Actually I get along with midway but sometimes they pack stuff little loose....but I live close enough to pick up

 

[Bradu]

My first nightforce scope along with other items came like that from midway. On top of that, it took over two weeks to arrive because it got lost. Not bad for living about 2 ½ hours away . I ended up reordering elsewhere and sending it back because they said just keep waiting to see if it shows up.

 

[armorpl8chikn]

Mil? Or MOA?
That is proper packaging for MOA scopes.

 

[Maggot]

Then you could shoot at it and break in the new range your gonna build?

......assuming your shooting items were boxed up good enough and work as intended

Beat me to it.

[armorpl8chikn]

That's just mean. My glasses look nothing like that.

 

[Gatorshark]

Well that's fucked up. On the other hand, he offered you a refund which you turned down. Sounds like he's trying to own it but you think the situation can be saved instead. Only thing you can complain about is (potentially) wasted time.

Wait?... did seller offer refund OP?

 

[Dragonscout25]

You guys concern for your fellow human beings make all warm and fuzzy inside...no I think that was the Taco Bell on the ride home....but the mike drop was epic...besides the Loopy guaranty was right on the side of the box!

 

[VA-Varminter]

Shoulda gone Arken.
I got one they shipped naked.
Just put stamps on the tube and mailed it.
Carrier had a flat and used it for a jack handle.
Arrived in perfect condition and passes Youtube tracking test like a champ.

I am not a paid spokesperson.

 

[Bender]

Bababooy!!!!

You all fell for my elaborate troll! I invented a time machine to go back in time and establish this username to then come back here 8 years later and start a thread about a juvenile female lack of packing expertise!

you all fell for the classic time machine bad packaging bitch about a full refund post!!

I am the greatest troll ever!!!

 

[GordonFreeman]

Looks like he did a light "field testing" for you. If the optic broke or failed as a result of abusive shipping. You absolutely did not want it mounted to a several thousand dollar rifle, much less rely on it in a match or god forbid a combat scenario.

 

[JakeM]

He’s worried about siting it in cuz it’s a Leuppy. If it shits every where don’t worry that’s normal.

 

[Cobra M197]

Purchasing through gun community forums is safe IMO where the number of good apples outnumber the bad. Unfortunately, statistically you will run into the minority who aren’t the most conscientious, honest, or caring.

 

[Alphatreedog]

Price reduced . Bump .

 

[DarnYankeeUSMC]

Do you think spelling is a joke? WTF?

[Dragonscout25]

Had to finish the post while running for the border...wasn't worried 'bout the guaranteeeeeeeee...

 

[roostercogburn98]

PM sent with clarifying questions

 

[1J04]

Shit. OP's gone dark! Not looking good on the Scope Caps if he decides to part this thing out or not.

 

[oneshot86]

At least we'd be able to enjoy it tumbling down the hill for a ways since it's cleared off a bit.

Snapchat that chit fo me

 

[oneshot86]

Why not up the ante with some tannerite ?

Ya baby ya

 

[Mike Casselton]

I could come down and push the new fridge off the back deck...........

His stool is in the wrong location.
Could you push it back in for him?

 

[Mike Casselton]

@TheGerman .... I get that you’re a hide legend/insider, but who in the fuck pays a gunsmith to work on a mosin?

His Dremel was broken so he shipped it away so someone else could fuck it up.

 

[Mike Casselton]

This gunsmith wasn't in Lakeland, FL, was he?

He should of just bought an mg32

Look, if I wanted to sell it for less I would have posted a lower price!!!

You lowballing fuckers piss me right the hell off!


The price is firm and if you don't like it, leave my thread and go somewhere else!!

Any offers?
No- one?

 

[1J04]

Mike, c'mon man, it's what gentlemen do, right? Push in Stools? Wait. Wut?

 

[TheGerman]

This gunsmith wasn't in Lakeland, FL, was he?

Was years ago but I'm 90% sure it was Texas.

 

[1moaoff]

Was years ago but I'm 90% sure it was Texas.

So your 10% positive it wasnt Texas?

 

[Threadcutter308]

We’re close. But not THAT close........

 

[Halberdier]

Did you ask to speak with his manager?

Shit. OP's gone dark! Not looking good on the Scope Caps if he decides to part this thing out or not.

I already got them, shit, were you interested?

 

[CMH]

That's nothing. I had a guy send me an S&B 5-25 in a fucking bubble mailer once. Not an S&B in an S&B box in a bubble mailer, a fucking S&B in a fucking bubble mailer.

 

[DarnYankeeUSMC]

Have you read the entire thread?
Just wondering.

Nope.

Can't read.

Don't even know what you just said.

 

[DarnYankeeUSMC]

Not appreciated!!

Nope.

You didn't say what the condition was upon arrival. Enquiring minds want to know.
In this day and age of Poor's saving 50 cents on shipping is like getting a free toy from the gumball machine at the store.
