Ok, the facts. Jack was on time as well was I. It was a place as public as the mall, so much gun handling was out of the question. After holding and cycling the gun, I said it was "very well used" and the screws had been removed. He said that he removed them because he wanted to see "what was in there". By then we had been approached twice by curious onlookers and then a white, jacked up dummy truck with blacked out windows(couldn't see who or how many were in there)and one hell of a loud boom box radio going. It was time for me to man up and say yes or no. Paid the man, waited with him to make sure he counted the cash and was happy and thanked him and got gone! Of course I shot it first thing when I got home and it works, when it wants to which is most of the time. It needs some gunsmith attention to replace an apparently broken spring to be 100%. Bottom line, we both completed our 'contract' in a proper manner.
Sure, I wish he had been a little more honest about the issues associated with this gun, and if he reads this and would like to contact me and help me find a way to correct them, it would be most appreciated. In the future, before you lambast the messenger, read the message again. I didn't say one single word to or about Jack, I was just telling The Forum members of a prime example where it is best to Caveat Emptor in every business transaction. In other words, I was speaking more/entirely to the buyer. Not the seller. By the way, to those not acquainted with the term "Caveat Emptor", it's a Latin term that basically means "buyer beware". Side note...……..SAWMAN and Idoono; I hope this sheds light on this subject and you find the explanation satisfactory. Respectfully, to all GCGF members.
So buyer beware... of the buyer???
