It is the stuff that is broken in transit by FED Ex that I like.
It is a Flintlock Long Rifle that I bought in FL that arrived broken at the wrist. Put the claim in through GB as they were the ship agents... Meanwhile I located the maker of the rifle in Ohio..Larry Bryner who was 78 ..I call him up where he said he would restock the rifle for 500...a couple of weeks later I received the money from GB. Tried for a couple of weeks to call Larry Bryner...with no answer. Then his wife answered and told me that he had an accident with his tractor where it rolled over him causing all the ribs on his left side to be crushed...The MD told his wife that he had never seen anyone suffer an injury like that and survive..Larry was in the ICU for 6 months living for another 7 or 8 years after the accident. I tlaked to him once after the got out of the hospital where he said he was through with building rifles..
