Well - the door has closed. The seller proved to be a true flake after we agreed on a price and the fact that he would allow me to have a gunsmith look over the gun he decides to no longer return calls or e-mails. That tells me one of two thing - he sold the gun to someone else or there are obvious problems he would rather pass off to another buyer. Fair enough I guess. Just in case you are go to gunshows in the south east - be weary.
