So buyer beware still is the best advice in all gun transactions. Buy it if it has been inspected by a very well trained gunsmith, if he deems the metal not too weak or thin, if you get it for less not more money, if you shoot only low pressure shells, if you are not concerned about full recovery of your money, if you never intend to take to a place where proof laws are enforced and hope to sell it there and if you can not find another one in proof. Sounds like a seven if gun to me.
Real problem is you need to know who worked on the barrels and how much has been done to them. Best to not have the chambers let out because it gives you a false sense that you can shoot American factory shells in it. It was not designed for them or the high pressure that they come with. Worse what it you lend it to some who loads max. loads and the pressure causes a major failure with damage to the gun and the shooter. Who sues who then.
