It is unfortunate that we must go through life always on the presumption that everyone is a liar or dishonest, such as with this gun. I know it is supposed to be "caveat emptor", but it dismays me that a LOT of sellers are of this stature. It is bad in all forms of purchase, whether it be guns, cars, gold, antiques, etc.
I have succumbed to the deception myself on USFA's, but it was after all a learning process. I really feel for the individual who has scrimped and saved to buy one of these guns as described by VoyPescado, just to be taken by what is unmistakably, a thief.
