S&W sent you a free ticket to ship the gun? SHIP THE GUN!.

Seriously, if the seller calls tonight and wants the gun, tell him you already sent it to S&W. And send the gun to S&W!

S&W will check it out, I'm sure they want to ensure that it didn't leave the factory that way, and they can tell you what was done, and how. And if it can be fixed (and how much). If the frame is sprung, it might not be repairable. S&W is the best people to make that call.

After they inspect, and inform you, you can decide how best to proceed. Right now, even with good pictures, you can't determine if the finish damage is ALL that is wrong with it. S&W can tell if anything else is wrong with it.

The seller can try and stiff you, its possible. They might try to wait you out. They could still be trying to figure out the best way for them to handle your complaint. A finding from S&W about the gun moves things beyond the "your word only" as to the guns condition. I would think that is a useful bargaining chip, should it be needed.

Given evidence, the seller may make up their mind to make it right with you. They may not, but one should give them the opportunity.
