What did you order / receive airgun related today? Thread

I would like to apply to be your next co-worker.
I usually have at least one person asking me every week, or every other week lol. We are currently pretty maxed out on our employees, and we just hired 2 guys bout 2 months ago. And we're going into the slower season soon enough. But we do tours!
 
Got my .22 LW Maurader back from AGR! Was in for a power tune. Only fired out the back door,but only a little louder. The bolt is so smooth,it is easier to cock,I expected harder with stiffer springs. So smooth.
Light wind all week and 70's for temps so I should get it to the range. Rich said it is at about 45ftp now. Will test all pellets over 20gr I think. Hoping for a decent 100yrd group with heavy pellets.
 
SCBA tank arrived yesterday, looks to be in fine shape inside and out. It was built in '07 with its last certification in '18. That means cheap...and I'm on my own regarding usage and filling...which is why I bought it.

5min ago, my Saber Tactical Tank Valve was delivered. Opened the box and the gauge is bent...so severely that the dial is smashed against one side of the gauge case.

A quick call to Utah Airguns and a replacement is being sent out (I got a return label, etc.). They were very quick about it, no questions asked (other than, "do you want a replacement?").

I told him that the packaging was poor. A slip of thin foam in the Saber box and a wad of small bubble wrap stuffed in the top of the shipping box. The Saber packaging was unprotected inside the box from the bottom or the sides. Of course, this thing was dropped or tossed in handling between there and here. That gauge is obviously the weak point, I would...nah, useless to whine.

All I can do is wait and hope #2 isn't damaged in the same way. :(

Hate to say it but if I was shipping it, it would be pact so the gorillas couldn't damage it. Glad Utah it stepping up(y)

Some people think about such things, others just toss it in a box and never give it another thought. I was in QA/QE for a while and "penny wise, pound foolish" was a common problem with packing materials. Seriously expensive items tossed in a box with no protection; cheap crap encapsulated in foam that cost more than the items themselves.

I have no idea if Utah's shipping dept. even sees info about shipping damage returns. I hope they got feedback and maybe packed #2 better.
