Bought his S&W 41 that was advertised here. Upper is not original to gun and will not retract. Taking to my gunsmith today.
Emailed him several days ago when I looked the gun over closely and he hasn't replied. Obviously, he could not care less...
What a bum. By his postings appears he is here to take advantage of the cost-free feature of selling on this site.

Obviously, he could not care less... Maybe he's out of town? Did you give him a call? I've had multiple dealings with Tim/hunthard as both a buyer and a seller and he is GTG. If there's an issue I have no doubt he would make it right. Eric

I've only had one dealing with him but it went smooth.

Have to agree with the previous two posters. Tim has a very solid reputation on the forum and has been a very good guy any time I've talked with him. I will be very, very surprised if he's ignoring you on purpose or trying to screw you over.

I think he might work on the N. Slope. Probably 2 or 3 weeks at a time. Be patient.

I'd give it some more time. I've found him to be first class in our transactions.

Hunthard bought some ammo from me. Payment got here quickly and communication was good.

Conduct is the best proof of character.

Agree here with the others: I have had nothing but stellar experiences with Tim. Not to say the OP doesn't have a case, as I understand there is are sides to every story. He's living Alaska (I believe?) so hopefully noting happened to him while out and about. Hoping this all works out for both parties...

Yep, he is good people. Don't overreact, I'm sure it's nothing. Have to agree with the previous two posters.

I bought a Kimber Mountain Ascent from him and have gone back and forth about a few other things and it was smooth as heck.
He's bought and sold a lot of items on here.
Personally, I think you're barking up the wrong tree here. I would bet if you gave it a few days he'd return your messages as soon as he received them. I understand you have some concerns but if you exercised a little patience I would bet he'll address them to your satisfaction.
I would certainly do biz with him anytime.

He's been on here frequently, including yesterday. Send him a PM.
Beware of thieves, scammers and dishonest members on the "Fire" classifieds. Ya there is a thief here too. Whatever!!
They're all around the CampFire and everywhere.

HH is a quality guy, they get no better.
I've dealt with him both face to face and here many times and the guy always comes through.
And yes, Tim wheels and deals, but isn't about making money, the guy simply loves guns, gear and optics.
I know for a fact that he sells stuff at a loss.... I've bought some of that equipment!

I will be very, very surprised if he's ignoring you on purpose or trying to screw you over. Well, apparently he can post here (yesterday PM) but not answer my email of several days ago....good guy.....uh huh.... Turns out gun was simply filthy and is now working fine.....it has other issues which should have been disclosed but weren't....I'm chalking this up to a bad experience and will never buy from this seller again....

The ad for the pistol says nothing about the upper being original. In fact I took the wording to mean that it was not original.
