Jagermeister,
Don't forget to mention Steve Barnett in that same breath!

I don’t like to see somebody take an unwarranted hit, so I’ll wade in with my $0.02 worth.
I don’t know Steve Barnett personally and have never bought a gun from him. I did try to buy a Westley Richards single shot from him a year or two ago, and here’s what happened.
Negotiations by phone were most cordial. I dealt with his employee, whose name I have forgotten. I negotiated the price to something I considered reasonable. In our discussions of the condition of this rifle, he cautioned me that the bore might not be what I want. Nevertheless, I decided to try to make the deal work. At that, he suggested I have an inspection period of not three, but ten days, with the right to fire the rifle.
The rifle came, and the bore was dark but seemed to clean up. I took it to the range and tried several loads only to find that accuracy was not to be attained. I cleaned the rifle back up, and let them know I was disappointed with my inspection. There was no argument or resistance to returning the rifle. I shipped it back and got a prompt refund. End of story.
It was an entirely honorable transaction that didn’t work out. I would not hesitate to deal with Steve Barnett again.
