I bought from BP once and can say that his descriptions and specs are painstaking. Have also bought from a "southern gentleman" who is more Delphic than the oracle and whose pictures look like Hubble product before the correction. I didn't know there were so many questions which could be answered with one word and that the answer quota per query was also one. From him, I got more than I expected. We all get older, less energetic and less idealistic. Brian is preoccupied with being a successful dealer. The older gent is preoccupied with his digestion and it shows in his jaded approach to selling. The guns are honest enuf; seller isn't very forthcoming. Correlation between gun and seller's appraisal should be there; often isn't.
