Agreed...
I had a similar experience with Woodcock Hill a year or so back....he turned from Mr.Nice guy to a smart aZz but...when caught he "returned all the shipping"...still babbling how "it was a good gun for the money"....
I don't know about you guys but I don't have three grand to throw away on clunkers.
I don't look in the direction of his website anymore. I bet the gun is still on his site with no mention of the breech face being coroded to hell and back....you could almost add an extra firing pin.
My only good mail order/internet experiemce has been with Montey Whitley....(I don't blame him on it at all)....he returned shipping no questions asked...never once tried to tell me I was wrong....after he got the gun back he called me...said "you know I believe you are right that the forearm wood was replaced at some point".
It didn't jump out at you like the mashed rib or the coroded breechs....It was a very old job on a 125 year old gun it wasn't that bad of job but didn't suit me.
I've purchased another gun from him since....I guess 'one out of three ain't bad' when it comes to internet gun dealers.
