Maybe he doesn't know the guy's name....?
Steve obviously needed to vent about it - can't say I blame Steve...I blame the shooter. The entire responsibility of situation rests solely on his shoulders, not Steve's....
I believe there's just something wrong here. That first line might be considered a basic responsibility.
I believe the higher up the price scale the gun is, the more selective the potential clients. The folks who tried that gun out will likely remember it. What do we do if you're one who tried it, and you're an expert that verify the gun went back in perfect condition. I'm the other guy who doesn't have any witnesses that I know of, but I'm positive that I fired the gun ten times with factory 2 1/2" low pressure target loads. Maybe, I was kind of like the seller and handed it back without specifically checking for those particular bulges.
If I realized the buzz that came up, sure I'd call the seller and chat. What we do know is that if the will is there, the gun is still available for 'looking over'. But, we're left with guessing. I know I would've been highly concerned if I saw that I bulged those barrels using 'approved' shells, no matter how much the seller was fuming.
If the gun slipped past casual inspection after the bulges, maybe the rib laid okay and no cracks showed up in the forearm. Maybe it could be measured if things are a little thin just where the appearance would matter the most, not under the ribs or forearm. I might think we should see a 'ring' bulge.
