2.When a seller says that he will entertain offers, what is a reasonable amount for me to suggest? -10%? -20%? More?

3. How about returns if the gun isn't acceptable to me? I should decide that before we complete the firearms paper work, correct? So all that I will be out is a round trip ticket for the package, correct? Well, I guess that I will owe the gun shop something for their time too.

Thanks, Jim


Sounds easy enough....wait till you buy one.
