Just got mine, Action is a wee bit stiff on opening, and takes some good effort to snap it shut. should smoothen up with some rounds out of it as all firearms need a break-in period,
but it is what it is, a 300$ Norinco, anyone expecting massive quality should probably look elsewhere, but these are just too much fun to shoot!

Not a big deal. Your post office will either look you up or hold it for you. Not too much to worry about actually.

I did not call Frontier firearms a moron, I called Canada post a moron for not realising that the address was for the post office and put two and two together that my PO box was there... it was pretty obvious as I was replying to the post above...
I stated Nope, they are morons, they are sending it back to Frontier Firearms.... As in CANADA POST...you don't ship parcels back to yourselves, obviously.
I am sorry that you mistook the context of the sentence.
While it pisses me off that my gun is now traveling in the wrong direction, that is not because of you, its because of Canada posts lack of logic.

Got my coach gun today. I was surprised at how nice the wood was. A little true oil and she should be shiny. One hammer is a little spongy, but should work fine. I may have to take a file to where the latch hooks onto the barrel. My thumb is raw from trying to break it. I can't wait to go blast a few rounds out of it. This will look awesome with my ranch hand. I better get a cowboy hat. Lol
Got mine Friday, a little review for those on the fence...
Furniture is nice, somewhat dulled finish but easily remedied.
Hammers and internals have obvious tool marks but nothing that impedes function.
Right hammer was a little less smooth than the left, I tracked it down to a burr left on a hammer strut.
The gun comes covered in a rancid smelling brown oil, I decided to clean it all off and re-lube.
A tiny bit of rust inside the end of the barrel, nothing significant.
All-in-all, mediocre to fair finishing but a fully functioning coach gun for the price.

Genrally, mine was the same. The oil was definitely excessive. My only issue to add is that mine does not lock shut and will likely require de-burring/filing to function properly. Frontier... Do I send it back to you or do I undertake it myself. I'm happy with the gun but if you're willing to repair/replace it at no cost to me I'm happy to ship it back. Otherwise I'll have at it this weekend.
