Bought a rifle on gun broker. The rifle didnt function properly. I contacted the seller and asked him agree to pay repair costs or refund my money. He responded that the gun belonged to his uncle and he was only listing it. Later said his uncle wanted me to send the rifle to a person he claimed was a gunsmith, at my expense, and without involving an FFL. I refused and told him I would take it to a competent gunsmith here and see what was wrong with it. Local gunsmith was able to repair the gun and only charged $45. I offered to send the repair invoice to him and asked seller to reimburse me that amount and he refused saying the gun was sold without any warranty.
The amount of repairs is not enough to persue legal action, but he is certainly not the type person I want to deal with again. If anyome comes across him, he goes by mastrshtr and uses email address of
