Just asking

I am sorry to rain on your parade but you really should pay attention to pics before you bad mouth a seller. To him it was like new, low round count and the gun was not in bad shape. No need to beat a guy up because you feel you wasted the gas when the pics show clearly the bolt.

+1 - IF you decide to continue to 'horse trade' throughout your life you need to learn to be tolerant of others, never expect the truth but strive to be more honest than someone was with you, stay open minded and always expect the unexpected (heck it may turn out better) know the true market value of what you are buying or selling, drive a hard bargain but work towards an equitable settlement. The best deal is the one that leaves both of you wanting to deal with each other again. I read way too many posts (not just on this forum) of those who express their dissatisfaction with a seller over price, condition, representation etc of an item that did not meet their expectations. So if that is the case say thanks for showing it to me, have a nice day and move on. I did this recently on a horribly misrepresented and overpriced rifle but wound up having a couple beers and an interesting conversation with the seller (kind of a lonely, reclusive hermit type) but left on good terms.

Only buy used guns in face-to-face sales. That way you can check out the firearm in person.
