If there was any repair done to that gun, as others have mentioned, it was done very early in that guns life. Maybe on assembly somebody dropped the barrels on the dolls head. No the gun is not a mint condition never fired gun that was hidden in original box in grandpa's closet, but its close enough by my standards. By looks of it it appears only time it has been handled was by someone with an oil cloth doling over it. That gun might have less than 500 rounds fired in it. Beautiful gun.
BTW I think anyone that go to trouble to nitpick that much is campaigning or trying to manage the narrative on that gun. It worked. I am now sorely convinced that gun is a POS made completely worthless with that SST trigger since no market for that at all. And that engraving is gawd awful, my cat can scratch better scenes in the litter box. All that busy grain in the stock makes it weak and fragile and will probably snap at the wrist with a half ounce load and probably why gun was never shot much. That gun shop should be ashamed of trying to pass off such an unsafe hoax. I got maybe a couple of hundred bucks that I'm willing take a risk on that gun, maybe for parts or something.
