No doubt this one has me stumped, the seller is not trying to pass it as counterfeit, he is as stumped as me, naturally he wants it to do all it will do money wise. If the gun barrel dates with the action and it has the target trigger I will make an offer on the gun otherwise Im only out shipping cost.The seller is a good guy and would prob. let me shoot a group if I asked. If the gun drives nails it would help his cause. v best winpoor
