Save your time and your money! Other then hurt feelings, you have no real damages, Lot's of guns out there--forget this one! I've been burned in a couple of these types of auctions. I don't bid anymore, unless I'm there or I have someone there bidding for me.

Pretty much my thoughts on this issue. You can spend your money and make more money but if you spend your time you are NOT getting that back. Jerry

Jerry: Don't get mad, just GET EVEN! There are ways that will cost them dearly. One is, refer them to this thread!

Best Regards, George

I also agree with brother Lander here- if we can post such scenarios without name calling and possible libel action, the "word" will travel through the double gun brotherhood and this "questionable" site will twist slowly in the wind and fade away. Hiring a lawyer at a $5000 retainer to possibly collect an iffy $1000-- not smart poker- and recalling the wisdom of the Oriental-- "When you set out on a journey of revenge, dig TWO graves first"!! Jerry, you are truly one of the good guys- honest as the day is long, and it is always sad to see a friend get the proverbial "shaft" here- For what it is worth in passing, I never get too deeply in love with any gun I buy, life is fleeting, is it not?

I hate to give my friend Jerry the business, but I'm sure he read my post of February 5 where I related my suspicion that this auction used shills and was not on the up and up. I expected at least one PM to clarify my comments. Oh well.

Yes Bill, I should have listened. I have the bug pretty badly however for these old guns with non fluid steel barrels now. The hammer guns especially have me. The quality and precision with which these guns are made is simply outstanding! Jerry

I don't spend a lot of words on telling people what to buy, but I'm pretty mouthy when I'm giving advice on what not to buy. You're better off without another bad gun, Jerry.

You really must pick your battles in life. If you rage war on everything that happens you'll be a miserable SOB. I live pretty upbeat day to day. I've been a lucky guy in business, marriage and have three daughters that love me. So all in all this gun is not worth the hassle. It's nice there are ways to get the word out about them however. People usually get what's theirs. Like Mark Twain said, " He who carries a cat by it's tail is about to learn things he can learn no other way. ". Jerry

O & R, thank you for the kind words!
