Need advice on how to handle this ASC transaction

[a1rs0ft]

Hello,

I'm not sure if this is the right forum but here goes.

I bought an AEG M4 through the ASC forums last November. The AEG arrived, but:

1. the magazine release mechanism was missing
2. the buttstock battery cover was also missing
3. the included battery doesn't fit (too long, wrong connector)

Note: none of the missing parts was listed in the ad

I contacted the seller and he said oops he'd mail me the magazine release mechanism, but that the battery cover is only aesthetics so he won't send one to me. I said no, the battery cover is common sense because I game all my guns outdoors and the cover protects the battery and wires from the elements.

As for the battery he said I can rewire the gun so that it has the correct (deans) connector. I said no I'm not gonna do that.

It's been over a month and I haven't heard back from him (I emailed him a reminder last week). I originally gave him some slack because of exams and Xmas. But he's had plenty of time now to reply.

I contacted the ASC forum admin but haven't heard back either.

So at this point I don't think the seller is going to address my issues. Any advice? Should I give him a negative or neutral trader rating? What are your suggestions?

Much appreciated.
