BEWARE! Several years ago I purchased a Parker from Commonwealth Arsenal with a three day return policy. Upon receipt of the gun I discovered the barrel wall thickness was well below what is normally considered safe. I immediately contacted Commonwealth (via email, he would not accept phone calls) and said I was returning the gun. Rather than refund the money though the seller said he would relist it and give me whatever it sold for less 10% commission! Yes my bad—in the fine print at that time under the “Additional Terms Of Sale” tab that was the terms of a refund. Two lessons I learned: 1, always parse all of the fine print, and 2, never do business with Commonwealth Arsenal again!
No, I did not return the gun. The original barrels are way beyond safe and I have been seriously considering destroying them before someone after me should fire them. I luckily found a widowed set of barrels that were a perfect match and now reside permanently. I now have a shooter not worth half what I have in it. Really soured me.
