Morale to the story is make sure you deal with an auction house that will make things right if there is a problem on their end. Second morale is trust your instincts to walk away. Goodness knows where this would have gone in a worse case scenario.
PS. The hunt continues for another 20 bore Fox with 28" barrels to have restocked to fit me that doesn't cost two arms and at least one leg.
Hi Tom:
Glad to see that your money was returned and the gun returned as well.
The picture of the muzzle you sent over, from the front, was also very notable, showing the disturbed solder and voids. The solder mix for the top rib and the bottom rib appear to be different as well...?
You are correct about working with honorable auction houses that stand behind their errors.
Best Regards,
