Cabela's online purchase shipped to the local store...
Picked up my new Pietta Gunnison and Griswold today and inspected it before I ever left the pick up counter... And so glad I did.
The gun would not function at all. No half cock position, no full cock position. It had something of a 3/4 cocked position that would allow for a trigger pull of some kind, some of the time, with force. Cylinder loose on arbor. Scratches on brass frame, ugly wood on grip... I can go on. It never left the store. I showed the salesman the issues and Cabela's promptly issued a full refund.
I bought the G&G online and had it shipped to my local Cabela's just so I could inspect it before taking possession of it. Too bad it was such a lemon. I wanted to get my Cullen Bohannon groove on...
So far my Pietta Remington NMA 1858s have been great though.
