My first thought.

I just don't understand some people. If I'm a collector and want a detailed accounting of a rifle, I'd request a competent gunsmith do the physical research. That would be for a rare expensive piece, not a common couple hundred dollar firearm. Then again, there are people in the sales section that I just don't do business with.

I've bought and sold on this forum and have had more trouble with buyers then sellers.
