On 1/2/2020 I made a purchase of 243 and 22-250 brass from Mcavanah, and paid him the same day with Paypal Friends and Family. He did send part of the brass I agreed to purchase, and once I found only part of the brass was missing I immediately reached out via PM to see if he forgot to include the missing brass. When I looked at the PMs I sent him, both show he read the messages. So I waited until 1/15/2020 to e-mail him, he never responded.

Now it wasn't a big loss in $$$, but everyone needs to be aware.

I wonder if there have been any international incidents in the last few weeks that might unexpectedly render someone in the Army unavailable...

I get where you’re coming from, but I guess I might just wait a little longer before running his name through the mud over a few pieces of brass, particularly when someone else bought brass from the same deal and got everything quickly and with good communication. Hell, you even got part of what you purchased in the deal, too.

This sounds like a genuine mistake on the seller’s part and he’s probably tied up with, I don’t know, the Iran situation right now?

It never ceases to amaze me how fired up people get on here and how quick they’re willing to drag someone’s integrity through the mud before they’ve ever gotten an answer about what is/could be going on. There’s a real person on the other end of that deal, with a real life, a real job, probably a real family, real problems, etc. That guy puts the uniform on every morning, cut him a little slack. He’s clearly not trying to screw anyone or you and others wouldn’t have received anything at all. Yeah two weeks is a while, but what if he’s boots on the ground in Iran right now? Probably unlikely, but public humiliation is no way to handle a deal this small when all signs point to a simple mistake.
