I've been bit a few times. "As is" is a curse of gunbuyers. I've returned probably 4 guns over the years. Range from a Fox Pin gun that had the forearm put in place with I think Liquid Weld. The gun was fixed never to ever come apart again. Had a Fox Sterlingworth that the barrels were so bad I sold it for parts. Biggest problem was with Pawn Shops. Now, I've made a couple of good deals with bad pictures, but I have a rule of calling a seller and asking lots and lots of questions. If I hear one more time "its in good shape for an old gun" I'm going to lose my mind. The internet has opened a lot of doors for finding guns, but its opened a lot of scams as well.
