The BLR in question is the one I sold him. I am still not sure about the water stains, if it is darker part near the grip area, I assumed it was the wood. The rifle still had the Browning finish on it. Irregardless, I want every party to be happy.
This is the first pm I received.

Scott,
Is there a reason you left out the part about the oil/water stains?
Everybody bitches about GunsAmerica, etc., but I'll tell you what- I've bought 7 guns from GunsAmaerica that were as described in detail.
You said "some nicks" and that does not cover water/oil stains.
I am happy to get the rifle, but after speaking to you several times, you had many chances to mention this, and chose to talk about your new projects.
Steelhead-BLR with oil stains
Braindead-Marlin 1895 with cracks at the tang(5)
TiminTennesse- Rem. 721 in .270 with cycling/ejection problems.
No real rip-offs here, but lack of info.

Not the best of tones, but I can understand if someone is not happy with money they just spent.
I reponded and told him if he wasn't happy to send it back, I would give his money back. He is out nothing. Of course I was still a bit ticked at the tone of that PM.
I get this back.
I get this a lot here.(The "if your not happy, send it back) The stains are at the grip/ reciever and buttplate. The rifle functions perfectly. I will keep it but I have to wonder how a guy who has custom work done, could buy/sell a rifle with this kind of problems and not notice it-I saw it in the box.

What the heck am I supposed to do? I offered to give his money back, (it has been 4 days since delivery), but he fells the need for this.
What would make you happy? That is my only desire in life before I depart this world for parts unknown.
A few night ago he called me and asked about an old 94 Winchester, I told him of a guy that has blued some of my rifles, that last I can remember it was about $135.00 for a rifle.
Here comes ole Ricky again.
called H. King, but it's $240 for a refinish. Once again, honesty's the best policy.
I think I'll try it myself(refin).
I have no love for these people on the Campfire, but every deal has been less then described. It would be like warning the dishonest people.
Sorry-Actually, you knew and still sold it to me. Don't give me that [bleep] about not seeing oil stains.
I will keep the rifle as a classic,
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
When it comes to money and items, I want everyone happy. I have offered to refund his money, but he wants to keep it and I guess just be a pain in the neck.
He doesn't mention the constant e-mails, I e-mailed him when I received the MO, when the rifle left, tracking number, etc etc. He said he wanted it by the weekend, I said I would ensure he received it in time.
If I am wrong I am MORE than happy to do what is necessary to correct the situation. Apparently there is nothing that I can do to make him happy.
