The cracks are old cracks. Im my opinion that couldn't happen in shipping, no way, not the way Jason said it was packaged. The crack line if new would have a whitish cast to it, not dark.
With the recoil pad on it if would have to be dropped barrel end down first on a hard surface from a considerable height for any cracks to show up, and then you would see it on the end of the barrels first.
In the original pictures I don't see it off-face. The reason is in my opinion gun was fired and all pressure is then put back on receivers head. Recock gun and you will then see it off-face and it will rattle. I'm sure Mr. Allen/associates knows that trick for selling purposes.
Again Jason I find it in your favor, not that there were any doubts in my mind the first time.
Mr. Allen already has people wondering what kind of dealer he is, and I'm sure that because of the views and lookers here that people are now putting him on their not to go to list.
I will go with what I said the previous time, he or an assoicate never looked at gun thoroughly.
With those options on gun, straight stock, ejectors, Hunter One-Trigger, good quality wood, I've seen Field Grades going for that. Him being a dealer long enough in the gun business knows what a Specialty Grade would go for, and that price is on the "I have a few problems" list, "lets sell it cheap".
Jason asked all the "right" questions about an L.C. Smith and was told otherwise.
Again Mr. Allen you are guilty and I don't want to talk to you on the phone as I can see it would be the same thing as being discussed here.
