Why would the moderator remove Joe Wood's post about the bad gun? I'm not familiar with that forum, but someone here must have an answer.

Ain't it great?

I'd love to know the history of this...

As in what the guys were drinking when they concieved the idea.

And... why the present owner is so clueless to represent it as he does.

The 'rest of the story' begs telling.

Well, the seller has been informed by several people on this board of the true nature of the animal and I guess they haven't responded to any of us. Oh well......onwards. We have other dragons to slay. (Boy, I sure got a lot of manure thrown at me on that board for my post pointing out the spurious item!)

This isn't all that uncommon. This one is only going for $3K.
Check out this one.

True, plus the fact that when you get burned once because you did not do due diligence before writing the check, you learn a lesson that will never be forgotten. Most of us have been there and paid our dues.

You did all you could do, Joe. There will always be people who don't want to be educated.

I had a similar experience to Joe's some years ago on another board, pointed out a clearly less than accurate representation and was clobbered by the seller and his buddies since they were all apparently big dogs on that board. I was polite in my post & and simply pointed out that the gun was not as represented. Seller did not change their advertisement. I got over it & moved on. Its the intermentnet for the unwary.

I think it is nothing more than a Crescent that has been polished and re-casehardened. Trying to pass this off as a real Rigby is a crime and the seller should be sued in a court of law. Bob

This seller has an FFL. Could he lose his license for his
actions?
