I received some good news today. Both guns have been recovered by UPS but they're in two separate locations. The revolver was packed inside another box inside the longer rifle box. UPS is sending them both back to the gunsmith via overnight air. He will repackage and send them separately this time, requesting adult over 21 signatures, and they'll be insured for $1K+ each. The $1K insurance guarantees chain of custody handling, supervisor signatures, and that they'll be locked in a secure location if either have to remain overnight anywhere.
Let's just hope they come back in one piece.
