I bought a gun over a month ago...

And I paid for it but asked seller to not ship it right away, because I was traveling. My 3-week trip turned into 5 weeks and now I'm home, but I can't remember the COW member's name who sold it to me. If you (the seller sees this, please contact me ASAP to arrange shipping.

Thanks,
