A few months ago I began a thread entitled "Why 3 day inspection periods are important", post #382414. I described a similar situation I was involved in, only with more, and more obvious, defects in the gun. I paid the shipping both ways, never expecting to receive any reimbursement, which was never offered. It is a cost of doing business. An honorable and sensible dealer would offer to pay the return shipping at least, but arguing with them won't get it done, IME.
The price of driving all over the country to personally look at guns would cost way more than the few times I have had to eat shipping. It only serves to make me more cautious, and ask more questions of the seller before "pulling the trigger".
