I agree that the gun should not be sold as a shooter. I am not for selling this gun "as is" unless the buyer is informed that it is too thin to shoot. I also do not think the current owner should take the loss. The seller ruined the barrels and should stand behind it. If it takes you a day, week or even a year to find out that the seller hacked the gun it makes no difference in my mind. They should have known that the gun was a time bomb and never sold it in the first place. If the barrels are .018 thick and the seller did the work and then sold the gun knowing that they were paper thin then they are not a dealer to be trusted in any way.
