Re: The PO really P's me off

Seems to be the norm for the USPS. I’m supposed to have a very expensive Muzzleloading pistol coming from Indiana to NE Kansas and all it says is in transit and delayed. The sender mailed a shipping over payment the same day and it got here over a week ago. What a joke.

Re: Pellet Guns

Probably not the case but you normally don’t want lite weight or alloy pellets in high powered spring piston guns due to not enough back pressure to prevent piston impact when fired. That’s about all I got on the matter.
