frogfish Posted July 1, 2009 Report Share Posted July 1, 2009 Well needless to say I have recently lost possession of my favorite little bushmaster, and an Asahi FNC. They were both shipped via UPS from Greenville NC to Cali and were lost somewhere after an arrival scan in Greensboro NC. If you guys could keep a look out I would be greatly appreciative. I got them insured so I'm not out too much, but I'd rather have my rifles as they can never truly be replaced. here are some pictures to help ID them. The bushy is pretty unique, top rail runs from the front sight to the cheek rest, and the grip is a modified lower RIS, has a MIAD grip, SPR flash hider and LRB. FNC is well not so unique, has a working 3-rd burst, but is missing the ratchet bar that goes from the barrel to the burst mech. Not so concerned with getting it back, as it can be replaced in my mind. If some of you can please take this to your local forums and keep an eye out, the person who would have these will probably not know what they have, and they won't have any mags for it either (they might). They were shipped in a black pelican 1700 case whose sole label was a white and blue UNSC logo. here's an image of that. Again thank you in advance, I want nothing more than to have my rifle back.

ST19AG_WGreymon Posted September 17, 2009 Report Share Posted September 17, 2009 If it was lost in transit with UPS then anything could have happened to them. I hope they turn up though. How were they packed? Link to post Share on other sites
frogfish Posted September 17, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 17, 2009 In a pelican case, I think they were "lost" because someone took them from the sort facility. Link to post Share on other sites
kojak Posted September 17, 2009 Report Share Posted September 17, 2009 That sucks man. I know it doesn't help now, but if you want to ship a Pelican case it's best to make a cardboard box for it so people don't get too greedy/curious. That Bushmaster is sharp, I bet it turns up on craigslist. Link to post Share on other sites
ST19AG_WGreymon Posted September 17, 2009 Report Share Posted September 17, 2009 In a pelican case, I think they were "lost" because someone took them from the sort facility. That's most likely what happened. Someone got curious and was like "Ooo guns!" and took them. They don't just disappear right after an arrival scan. I'm pretty sure the case must've been huge too. No way in hell that got "misplaced." Glad to hear you got compensated though, was it enough to cover the cost of both? Link to post Share on other sites
frogfish Posted October 23, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 23, 2009 And they just popped up on ebay, have contacted ebay, working on calling UPS and making up a police report. Link to post Share on other sites

frogfish Posted November 11, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 11, 2009 well Ebay basically told me to screw off, they didn't pull the auctions. I contacted the police and they said in two weeks they'd get back to me...hrmmm well that's gone by... Anyhow, two of my friends ended up getting the rifles for me and they are going to hang onto them until the police contact me back. So in the end Ebay sucks, the police are slow, and nothing has really changed, but at least I know where the rifles are. Link to post Share on other sites

Hakkon Posted November 13, 2009 Report Share Posted November 13, 2009 Those two friends are bad *albatross*. It's good that at least some people are still awesome. Link to post Share on other sites
frogfish Posted November 13, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 13, 2009 yep these guys have been through a *suitcase* storm with me literally, one has been through a few hurricanes with me and the other and I are Aggie buds, that might not mean much to some but the Aggie bond runs deep.

Kretschmer Posted November 21, 2009 Report Share Posted November 21, 2009 Just my imagination but apart from standard law procedures, can you not claim insurance and use those bucks to pay back your friends? I suppose insurance won´t be enough, but it would lessen the cost for you. And you´ve got the guns back... I always thought better from ebay, they usually pull off dodgy items, check throughly and if everything is alright, they just put the auction back for free. I´ve seen that a couple of times. Acting as a knowing vehicle to sell stolen items is a criminal offence. If you told them "those are mine, here´s the police report with photos and detailed descriptions", someone at ebay risked its *albatross* by telling you to screw without proper checks...

MMoilanen Posted November 27, 2009 Report Share Posted November 27, 2009 Frogfish, did you ever get contacted by the police about your guns? Just wanted to know because that Bushmaster of yours is beautiful. Link to post Share on other sites
Spooros Posted March 21, 2010 Report Share Posted March 21, 2010 Did the police get back to you? Link to post Share on other sites
frogfish Posted July 24, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 24, 2010 Just to let everyone know, the police never got back with me. Seems like they dropped the case. Insurance I have doesn't cover the items, the money I got back from UPS wasn't enough to buy the rifles back, but I managed to get another bushmaster. Thanks for all the help.
