sounds like the buyer just flat out LIED, unless those words came straight from the gunsmith, in which case they conspired to screw you.Then proceed to take it to the shop’s “gunsmith” to look it over, all while I’m standing around in the shop’s main area… 20 minutes later he comes back and says that the “gunsmith” told him the barrel was shot out. He offered me $100 less than we had agreed on.
I was too stupid and needed the money so I took it. Man, I wish I could do that over again. I’d tell that guy to pound sand now.
Needless to say I’ll never be a customer at that gun store now.
