I have been looking forward to receiving my 2 bore, 36" barreled blackpowder gun from Steve Zihn for 15 months. He got the finishing touches done this last week and sent it to me via Fed. Ex. I received it today at noon and couldn't wait to unpackage King Kong. As I pulled it out of all of its packing, something did not look right. It was huge as I expected it to be. But I noticed that the cleaning rod was broken and that the fore end of the stock was pulled away from the barrel about 1/2". I was extremely ticked to say the least.It had to go some ridiculously rough handling to be damaged like this. It looks like the gun will have to be sent bake to Steve to be fixed. It may have to have an entirely different stock made. CRAP CRAP CRAP!! At least it was insured, so Fed Ex should make good on it, but I am really bummed out about this.
