Maybe the guy just spoiled your gun in his attempt to 'restore' it. He may well know he F'd up, and that's why he's offering you a G from his collection, but not man enough to admit he messed up. If the guy will talk to you, give him the ultimatum that he either fess up or you'll bring in the Feds. You might get your gun plus the G out of it. If he's a legit business, he won't want to risk loosing his FFL over one gun.
I've always been a sucker for giving people a chance.
