You’re making an awful lot of assumptions here, and you’ve totally mischaracterized me and the situation as a whole. Below are the extent of my communications with the seller. I think it’s clear to see that I was not obnoxious or ornery, and I stand by my conduct. I’ve purchased and sold no...

Anyone have any experience with Swiss 1.5? I’ve heard it’s essentially the same granulation as the 2F offered by other manufacturers.

There’s a couple guys at the local club that regularly outshoot those with rifles using their .62 cal smoothbores. Learn to shoot it, and learn to shoot it well! In the right hands, they’re certainly plenty capable inside of 100 yards.

Yeah… I thought that was pretty tactless too. I think that’s really great that you allowed your grandson to assist on the Woodsrunner. You’re a braver man than I!

First, I was never upset about receiving a refund—I was disappointed in the lack of communication that led to it… and the fact that my money is currently tied up in limbo while the refund is pending. My intention in posting wasn’t to seek “validation” but to share my experience for the benefit...

Some folks apparently don’t take the time to read the initial post, so I’ll recap: The seller disclosed the crack at the tang a couple of days after I had already paid for the rifle. As I’ve already stated, I was none-too-pleased, but opted to continue with the purchase. It was after reviewing...

For the bad rap that Gun Broker gets, I can’t say I’ve ever had an issue. I’ve been buying and selling on the site for some 15 years or more. Sure, it all worked out in the end, but the entire situation could have been avoided to begin with. It’s disappointing to think that I was sold a rifle...

Thank goodness, too! In hindsight, I’m thankful. I just can’t help but feel an extreme disappointment and even disillusionment that this guy I once looked up to is not the person I thought he was. I think that what you’ve brought to light just serves to underscore the fact that his character...

Am I the only one here that finds the seller’s actions dubious? The whole time he maintained that the crack at the tang was so minute that it was hardly noticeable or noteworthy and he never offered me any sort of a discount whatsoever. I wonder if he’s in the habit of giving 50% off deals to...

Interesting. It should be noted that I never actually took possession of the rifle. I was refunded before it was ever even shipped. It’s curious to me the seller would drop the price by $750 for the sake of something that -according to him- was a non-issue. He maintained there was absolutely no...

Are you being serious?

Price dropped to $125 shipped.

Thank you! That’s very kind of you. I’ve recently gotten involved with Trail Life (a Boy Scouts alternative, to those who aren’t familiar with the movement), and have agreed to take on a leadership role, which takes up a great deal of my free time. Doing my darnedest to raise up men who are...

Good morning! Below is a photo of the parts included with this sale. You’ll have to source a ramrod pipe or two. There wasn’t any side plate on the pistol to begin with.

Thanks Thanks, AZ. Yours is an accurate characterization of what happened. Any attempts at further communication from me were ignored.

Hey there, BLoar. I attempted to respond to your message but found that it was “closed for replies”. I had to start a new conversation with you.

Thanks for saying so! I appreciate that.

That’s pretty wild, isn’t it? It would almost lead one to believe the Ruggles brothers were cursed (not that I believe in that sort of thing).

I’m sorry, but I tend to disagree with you here. I think the click of a “refund” button hardly constitutes “going well out of their way”, but I digress. A refund in an instance like this is a reasonable expectation, I should think— not a gracious and benevolent act on behalf of the seller...

It’s not that I’m not capable— it’s just not feasible for me right now at this stage of my life. I’m a husband with a list of “honey-do’s” a mile long, father to four kids ranging from ages seven to 12 months, and both myself and my kids are involved in extracurricular activities that take up a...
