Well I got a surprise yesterday morning - look what was on my doorstep:

The box was squashed and torn half open. The barrel was rolling around loose under a pile of air cushions. The checkering cutters I ordered were nowhere to be found - presumably they fell out of the holes in the bottom of the box somewhere along the way.
But, I have a barrel. Miraculously it survived without getting bent and with only a couple of small scratches in the paintwork. It's not even the barrel I actually ordered (I asked for the non-threaded version and they sent me threaded), but it borescopes and measures fine.
I contacted Brownells to let them know I had received it, and offered to pay whatever portion of the original order sum they thought was fair (they had already refunded me earlier). They told me there would be no charge, and I can't ask for better than that.
I'm a happy man.![]()
