yOu started it.... I was just kidding about the shipping....I'm over it.

If I were you I'd take the free advice I offered and get out of your Scott junker before you get any deeper over your head. I'm sure you can find a fish to bite on it.

About the Scott you had for sale at Westley Richards....All I can say is the guy that "vetted the gun" as you say needs more practice...I don't care who he is or what "papers" he claims to have if he thought that normal...I say he doesn't know jack chit.
I have owned enough W&C Scotts to know how a Scott should close.
