Anyone else get their Colt upper(s) from AU? Mine came with a hole in the single layer, thin ass bubble wrap mailer and it scratched up the rear of the receiver. How hard is it to throw it in a box or a second bubble mailer for a little more protection?

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By allensaldi: I'll gladly provide y'all with the proper packaging for your shipments. I have a little OCD with my gun parts. If I scratch them, I’m fine with it because they are a tool to be used. However, even then I take good care of my stuff...all of it. When they come “new” that way it annoys the crap out of me. Also, I think it’s more the lack of taking the 10 extra seconds to bubble wrap it first, or throw it in a second bubble mailer, that pisses me off. Gotta give a shot out to Allen...dude has legit cs.

Thank you, again, sir! Looking forward to my goodie bag. Thanks bro! I kinda pride myself on knowing how I want to be treated and then treating everyone the same way. Since day one all I wanted to do was to be able to give people the best experience they can have at the lowest price possible. What kills me the most is how the CC processors and the payment gateways and all that stuff have to take their cut. Honestly, and this is no joke, just to sell something after it all said and done it cost me literally $90 a month between the processor fees and the online gateway fees plus 3%. So sometimes, on certain things, I may be a few dollars more money, but that is because I am sending it to customer with free shipping. Which sometimes costs me upwards of $10 depending upon weight. For the time I spend trying to source parts and then keep them in inventory, at my cost, I often time wonder if selling stuff other than tools is worth it. But then I really think about it and realize that it. Mainly because I know I'm giving you guys what you want while only making a few dollars. It was never my goal to make a ton of money with Classified Defense. The goal was to try fill voids via products, prices, and customer service. Also, if I'm being completely honest, it was and still is to get a 07/SOT. Which WILL happen!  [END RANT. I TRULY APPRECIATE THE SUPPORT] |

I for one know that you can ship a single upper First Class Parcel with USPS. That is because it is under the max weight of 15.9 ounces. Most of the things shipped that way can go anywhere for less than $4.00 and have to be in a envelope. If you ordered three there only option was to box it up. Thus the $10.00 was still less than 3 individual packages. Just my thought. |

Yep, actual penetration of the blast baffle started somewhere between 11k and 12k. I had one little notch threatening to form at 11 or so, but by 12k I had four of the little bastards (photos only show two of the notches due to the angle). While I wouldn't say I abuse my cans, I'm definitely not gentle with them; all things considered, I'd say going almost 12k before moving beyond cosmetic erosion isn't too bad. The RC is a tough bastard. |

The location of the circular engraving is off slightly more than the allowed tolerances of the proper pin location in relationship to its ability to function. It is also off of the proper center line on both sides. Therefore, technically speaking, it isn't a marking for a fake sear pin. It is merely a circular engraving that I thought would look nifty. Replica-Semi Only marked as a secondary precaution. Because techincally, if the circular engraving is concerning, it is marked in accordance to it function.
