Thanks for the Arcus mention, they were certainly not on my radar screen; nice looking guns with an awesome price tag.
Aimsurplus took care of me. Spoke to a fella named Chris Day on the telephone, he provided a pre-paid UPS shipping label. They received the returned gun last Friday, and my credit card shows the full refund price this morning. I certainly feel confident doing more business with them now. I think that was only the 3rd order I've done with them in the past aside from a couple of Mosin Nagant purchases.
