Never been scammed on a purchased but one Dealer tried it on with a gun I wanted to sell. Having looked at it he informed me that the barrels were bulged and it was worthless until re-sleeved but would give me something for it. The gun was actually unfired from coming back from the Birmingham Proof House after I had the chambers lengthened from 2 1/2" to 2 3/4". I complemented him on his keen eye sight and that it was better than those at the Proof House and left. Strikes me that he was the kind of Dealer who would make some old widow a generous offer of Ł10 for her deceased husband's old Purdey! Caveat Vendor on this occasion! Lagopus…..
