I called over there and the guy got the gun in his hands and we went over it in great detail. Sounded good, so I bid on it and won. As soon as I got the gun I knew was not operating properly. Sent if off the Nick Makinson to get it working. $450 later plus shipping up to him, it worked. That was about 18 years ago, so $450 back then was a big repair bill John Boyd I've heard enough stories EXACTLY like this one over the years that I consider myself cured of any desire to bid on a double gun that is listed at an auction house. I have had three very good experiences on gunbroker, but, none of the guns I bid on were over $400. Best, Ted

I've been screwed twice on gunbroker and they were no help at all. I did get relief but it was by the Postal inspector mostly. I paid using a usps money order. When the problem occurred they did the leg work. Also BATF helped. By he end I got my money returned and one dealer lost his FFL. Crooks should not have them anyways.

I can not say I never bought a lemon...I did, or maybe even a couple of them, but I have had many more great deals than bad ones. Getting a condition report is a huge help. Firearms imports, consignments
