Short of being sealed in an original box it’s a bold claim to begin with but photos sure don’t back it up in my opinion.

I hate to spoil the party, but why are the screws all boogered up/ turned the wrong way? I'd say someone has had the gun apart. Hmmmmmm......

I agree! The buggered screws are a dead giveaway that this isn't an unfired gun. The other item is the front trigger wear. The picture of it is poor but it almost looks like it's been welded for some reason. Nevertheless--Why would a front trigger have that much wear on a supposedly unfired gun?

The other interesting thing is this gun sold on GB a little over a week ago at over 7k and then showed back up a few days later with the same description. I'd sure ask the seller about what's up with that.
