Home Forums Gear Free Classifieds How long am I responsible??

I wondered where he'd gotten off to. Still got that popcorn addiction, too.

Bufaf,
I logged in to reply to this non-sense.
However, I see I have you on ignore already.
You are clearly irresponsible.

All I know is that I've never had to ask for others opinions on how I should handle a transaction. I know how to handle them and can't imagine bringing it up.

Seems 2 men can work it out and figure out what was, wasn't fired in said rifle.

I don't have 3 days inspection periods, if the FFL transferred it rules or any rules. Men need to work things out as men.

No

I have a couple of the H&R 1873 Officer Model trapdoor reproductions. When those rifles were made back in the early to mid-1970s, it was generally recognized that while the materials that H&R used to build them might be stronger than the originals, the design was still weak and that fact needed to be taken into account when reloading. When those rifles were originally sold, the only common factory ammo available was the mild 405 grain FP at 1,300+/- fps.

Buffalo Bore obviously recognized that their +P 45-70 ammo would be unsafe in some actions, so there is a warning printed on the box label that lists the makes/models of rifles that their 45-70 factory loads are intended for. There are no trapdoor Springfields, original or reproductions, on that list.

Once bought a 24" 243 barrel from a "member" here, changed directions, resold in same packaging. New Buyer is like dude it's 22" - man that is low and I'm like uh uh and figured original seller would at least offer to buy it back, yeah it had been a couple months. Nope, nada and he was a dick about it to top it off. Since found out he's a retail "businessman". That explained his lack of owning up to his error. Purely out to profit. Something about 30day expiration... When I see his many ads I feel like posting asking if he'll guarantee the length, size, caliber, CCs or whatever. Anyways, it wasn't some POS trapdoor, this seller has no obligation but also needn't post here about it. Buffalo Bore? Who'd a thunk...

After 4 months of owning the rifle the buyer should be ashamed of evening contacting the seller expecting a refund or money back for any reason.

+1 on this

Five pages and I still don't know who the buyer was.

Its some guy who thought he bought a gem, but whacked his pud for 4 months before finding out he had a dud.


free bump

this may of summed up the whole matter up

Yep!

I have an old 22 that has run out of ammo, can I return it for a refund? I've only had it 40 yrs or so.

Well said...and then we have the usual village idiots pound on the seller.

These call-outs get old, but it is nice to know who/what is out there. It makes one appreciate the 95% good guys around here that know how to conduct business.

Bufaf, Why did you air this out in the classifieds? Craigster is always easy to talk to and deal with, in my experiences. It's looks like your trying to let everyone else run him down, to make you feel better - I hope this is not the case. Only you know the truth and the right thing to do in this matter. Man up and do something, one way or the other.

Well jeeze, the rifle was either unfired or fired very little; what do you expect?

Besides, the add clearly stated the rifle was in excellent condition.

Just because the action pops open when shot should be expected on this model.

Sooo you bought a barrel , didn't open the package , sold it to someone else without verifying it was even a barrel , TWO MONTHS later ? haahhahahahaha and then wanted to return it ?
hahahhahahaha

you and the 45/70 buyer should become buddies !

yea I'm the guy you trashed when I told the truth about the offshore junk Leupold's putting in their scopes and their lack of quality control , as posted by prominent members of this forum .

oregontripper , what are you trippin' on ?

Looks like Craigster took the high road on this thread regardless of the two distinguished members who chose to reveal his identity.. One question for the seller... Why did you not state that this was a repro rifle in your original for sale add? Do you think that is something everyone knows or takes for granted? And how do you know that a Buffalo Bore Cartridge was ever fired in this rifle?

Who in their right mind waits 4 months to fire a newly acquired gun? That's like going on a honeymoon and not.... well its just not natural.
