Had the same thing happen to me. smile. Kind of..

I bought a Winchester custom shop 358 winchester that a guy had already shot..., they had Less than 15 of them according to the custom shop.
When it got to the gunshop the local gunsmith there saw it and asked me what I was going to do with it (it hardly had any wear so he thought it was mint)..

When I said - I’m going to hunt it ... He got pissed.

I hunted with it for a couple years, now it’s up in Alaska some place...
