FOIA Request Issued to USPS to Determine Cause of Special AR-15 Delivery Delay - Ammoland.com

 A Freedom of Information Act Request was sent to the United States Postal Service Office of Inspector General Tuesday by this correspondent via Return Receipt mail. The purpose is “to request information about a presumed investigation conducted after the U.S. Postal Inspector Service was notified about a shipment delayed in transit.”

Regular readers will recall remember the time Len Savage, president of Historic Arms LLC, sent the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) unassembled parts for an evaluation and they assembled it into an unmarked Short Barrel Rifle (SBR) with a brace in what looked suspiciously like an entrapment – after a four and ½ year wait.  It took the Bureau so long to respond that the return postage Savage had originally included was no longer sufficient, as it had been raised twice.

We’ve been friends for a long time and in gratitude for my support over the years, including on AmmoLand and Firearms News, and much to my delighted surprise, Savage decided I should have the gun. It’s important to make this disclosure lest anyone challenges my motives or journalistic ethics. If they were compromised, I wouldn’t have mentioned this.

Savage shipped the rifle (now with a 16″ barrel) to my local Federal Firearms Licensee on July 2.  It was estimated on the receipt to be delivered July 6.  It was not. Every day thereafter I checked the tracking number, a couple times a day, and it was always still “in transit.”
