I told the board in an earlier post on this topic that I would keep you guys posted as per my latest transaction that had gone wrong, here is the scoop: I ordered a Gulla Mod. 216 from Harry Marx, Hi Grade Imports. Ginger, the person who helped me was very intelligent and knew all of the gun lingo such as, Purdey, Boss and Holland and Holland engraving. She also described the checkering using tech lingo such as "crossover", Etc. I asked her in an e-mail how the bores were, she replied, "The Bores are Clean". I bought the gun and as soon as I checked the barrels I saw a large black spot, half-way up on the bottom of the #1 (right) barrel. I felt like I had been kicked in the gut. I hoped that it was just fouling and took an oversized brush and several patched to it. After 10 milutes of scrubbing the blemish still remained. I looks like a crater, How it got there, I don't know. The only thing I can figure out is that the barrel was defective to begin with. I phoned Ginger and she admitted that she never really checked the bore! I asked for a full refund, including return freight and my FFl Transfer expense, which I promptly received yesterday. I must say I wasa pleased about getting my money back with no hassle, but not pleased with the inaccurate description. Thank you for the prompt and Courteous refund Harry Marx! I hope that other dealers will follow suit and please make sure the info is accurate, it saves everyone a lot of money!
