Sold a rifle "as is" on GB a couple of years ago. The new owner contacts me over a month later saying the rifle has an issue and the factory doesn't service them anymore. Was looking for me to pay for the repairs. I offered to refund his price and he could ship the rifle back to me covering the expenses. Never heard back from him again...
Lesson learned, some buyers are just looking for some money back on a purchase.

Please, I certainly did look at a long list of classified posts, not your entire history. Just saying, someone so active in our classifieds might hold himself to a higher level than to bushwhack his buyer in a preemptive strike.

Callout threads are never good for the OP. Buf, I believe you are right in the transaction, but I'm sure the current thread could have been better handled.

A much weaker design than the Handi Rifle even. old rifle design that is well known as a very weak action in the first place. A little research would show that this was a common problem with these rifles I'm sure this was disclosed prior to the sale; and even written in the add. Oh poop

Non disclosure is deceitful, conniving,and fraudulent. You're off to ignore land.

what non disclosure? wow didnt realize i had to list what pressure loads must be used in the old guns i sell....fug me if you buy a 150 year old design and think you can hot rod it your an idiot.....well known that trapdoors are weaker, its why they have their own data in reloading manuals....i hear/read the term "trapdoor level loads" fairly often

If you knew as much about guns as you know about pot, you'd know that rifle isn't 150 years old. If its a piece of [bleep], spell it out in the add prior to sale. The add sure didn't say that. I have no idea what ammo he was using (Buffalo Bore?) and you jumped to conclusions about the ammo used. This is the sellers excuse for a non functioning weapon.

question does this mean if i ever sell my Marlin Guide Gun to cover my arse i must put "gun can not handle loads designed for the Ruger #1"? its not like this is a heavily modified action made weaker or even an obscure single shot.....trapdoors are well known quantities *IF* Craigster shot heavy loads in it thats no ones fault but his own for not taking 30 seconds to learn bout the gun he bought.....
im guessing there is some other issue at play but even so 4 months is well beyond any implied warrenty.....no one in their right mind should be considered having to be held to it in any sale like this....phug me i could buy a rifle off here, take it hunting if im careful and call the seller after the season and claim there is a problem....if you want some sort of warranty part of that is you testing in a prompt manner....

This is the sellers excuse for a non functioning weapon. the basic design is from 1865, 150 years....modern metalurgy isnt gonna increase its strength any.....

If only his adds were that transparent.
