I have bought several items from the IMA Nepal cache over the years and most of them have been worth the effort. Been looking this one over for a few days and decided to order one last Sunday. I arrived by UPS yesterday mid afternoon. Temperature here yesterday afternoon was north of 105 Deg F. As my shop is not fit to enter in this type of weather I decided to wait until this morning to unbox the gun. They always wrap the gun in bubble wrap and pack with foam peanuts. This morning I went out and set the box on the tailgate of my truck and took pictures as I proceeded to take the gun out of the box.
1. Box had a hole in the area of the hammer

2. Bubble wrap OK except for the tip of the hammer sticking out. Not bent or damaged

5. Wrist of the stock has a crack and I can fix that. All in all I'm pleased and anxious to get started.
