You are the National Archives for springers up there.

Here we go again. A few weeks ago I bought I think a Walthers 201j. I bought FWB 300J and a FWB 601 from this guy, so no problem.
l checked the tracking and it went from Alberta to Toronto and back to Winnipeg. Hmmmmm.
It was 2 hours away now it’s 20. Have to call back tomorrow. Crow

Just got a call from Purolator. My Walther 201j is MIA. I’m pissed. Crow

Man. Fingers crossed it works out well.

The Walther was reported lost a week and a half. They called and we’re going to refund the sender. Yesterday I see an e-mail from Thursday, (I’m not an e-mail person). I can go pickup my parcel. This one was shipped on June 12th. Thought this one was gone as well.
I’ve had dozens of rifles all shipped to me, never had an issue, late, damage or scratch. These 2 may be a warning. Crow

Awesome. Hope all is good.

Well over a year ago I ordered a HW30 .22 Stainless, as well a HW77 .20 and a HW98 .25. The 30 came in just before Christmas 24. Right when there was first talks of tariffs. I wanted those out ASAP.
At the same time I made a trade for 6 rifles for my collection of autographs, (hockey players) I saved up while in business for over 40 years now. Great timing.
AoA told me at the time the 30 came in, the 98 was no longer available. But a new 95 walnut stainless, not even listed yet is available . I made the first sale on this 95. And I bought a HW97kt Walnut .20. Spending 1/2 of my trade. The 30 will have company coming home.
The 3 left on January 3rd to Airgun Archery Fun in Saskatchewan, then to me. I can’t wait.
3 weeks go by. Nothing, call AoA they track to LA customs. OK. Few more weeks go by. Nothing, still in LA. Another week goes by and it leaves for the border. Right on. Then like Houdini it disappears. 5 1/2 months later I still cry myself to sleep every night.
‘Then I get an e-mail from Wes at Airgun Archery Fun that he just paid the duties on the guns. Shut up. For 2 more weeks I wait and today they made it home.

Had it in 2 weeks. Wes is the best.
Next time I’m going to ask for pony express. Crow
Hopefully have scopes and shoot them tonight.

Miracles do happen, they all look really classy. That HW98 in 25 cal would be cool as well.
