I must say I have never heard any bad news on Osprey. There are dealers out there that I can not say that about and they have been n business many years.

He sent the gun back… the post was getting long, and I wanted to shorten it. I thought I had left that part there. Sorry.
He said we would work something out in response to an email I sent after I discovered he had refinished the gun.
I originally sent him an email when I saw the listing. I wrote that if the gun was all original, I would take it. He said the gun was all original, except he thought "the barrels might have been refinished". I said OK.
When I discovered he had purchased the gun at auction and had it completely refinished, I called him on it!
He lied about the gun; he insinuated that he knew nothing about its history by saying, “I think the barrels might have been refinished,” But he knew the history of the gun because he had purchased the gun at auction and had it completely refinished.
When did I mention a lawyer?

No, he admitted that he had purchased the gun at the auction house. For some reason, he told me that the auction house told him that the gun had been sitting above a fireplace for 30 years.
I had always heard good things about him.

Another question- do you still have the emails of the conversations when he told you it was original? And the other emails of the conversations between the two of you? It would be nice if you have them........... Who has the gun now?.........Did you get your money back?

Jimmy, he said the gun was sent back, so he is again stuck with a gun he doesn't want. "I want a lawyer". That's a boatload of money.

I understand now. I think that's a shame. I guess the old saying goes...... anytime there is money involved, people are going to be cheating. 😔😔

It was a long time ago, but, Gary sold me a gun that was at a gunmakers shop in England, that he knew about. A very early steel barreled NacNaughton boxlock 12 NE, that had been vetted and reproofed for 2 3/4” ammunition. He had the stock bent left before he brought it here. It was a really nice old gun, and I used it a lot, back in the day, mostly for early season grouse and pheasants with light loads. I sold it when a regular at my club fell further in love with it than I ever had. It wasn’t terribly expensive, he didn’t get rich on me and everything was good, as far as I knew. If Gary had time, he would shoot the breeze for a half hour or so, when I called.
His offerings are a bit out of my wheelhouse, but, I was treated well.
Best,
Ted

Lawyering up will exceed the value of the gun in question. Why don't you contact the "Judge Judy Show"? She'll sort things out!...Geo

Just wondering. Once you got the gun from Osprey, how long was it until you notified them that you were unhappy with the purchase?

Judge Judy only pays out $5,000.00. No help there. 🤔
