    NOW WITH PICS.

    So, I received my new-to-me Sweet 16 and it is pretty nice. I swabbed out the bore with a 20 gauge Bore Snake and it came out gleaming. (20 gauge fit so tight I don't see the need for a 16 gauge snake but I digress).

    Anyway, the forearm and buttstock toe has a lot more damage than the seller showed in the pictures. I have emailed him asking him about that and received no reply. I assume he pulled a fast one. I will give him feedback reflecting that. I reviewed the auction pics: the stocks are the same so his ad pics were photoshopped or much older.

    So, question: what does Art charge to repair a banged up toe and forearm?

    Here are the pics put on gunbroker along with what was actually received.

    Stocks came damaged, different from ad pics, no explanation given. Seller did offer to return full payment, but refused a discount.

    As of two days ago, the seller backed out of his offer of a refund. No surprise there.

    Call Art, he and his sons are a friendly crew.

    I did call Art and spoke with one of his sons. I appreciated the advice greatly.

    If I end up stuck with this fraud of a shotgun, I'll get the stocks repaired and hunt the crap out of it, hopefully not damaging the stocks worse than those were. :cool:

    Art refinished the stocks on my son in law's Sweet 16. Better than new.
