Buyer beware

[Aries]

Simply this, purchased a rifle that the seller had never fired after taking it in on a trade. The action was very stiff but figured probably just dirty. Long story short rifle will not cycle even after cleaning and I will not pass it on to anyone else in this condition. Personally in this situation I would simply have taken the rifle back. I probably should have simply not made the purchase. I won’t drag people through the mud because I don’t think it was intentional. But after contacting the seller there was no mention of canceling the deal.

Can you maybe get it repaired under warranty? Gun manufacturers, more than most manufacturers on average, are very good about fixing problems sometimes even when not covered under warranty, or they are not technically obligated to. I would sure look into that, maybe you can get it repaired.

Most retailers in fact won't take a malfunctioning new gun back, but will help you send it in for warranty repair.

What is it/what's wrong with it? I know a guy. Jus' sayin'.......

buys gun with stiff action, makes assumption that its dirty, assumption was wrong, blames seller for not taking back gun that he knew had a stiff action...

enjoy your new gun!

Yeah, given the fact pattern there, I'd be kicking myself for making the assumption I did. I'd probably be inclined to reverse the deal if I was the seller; but I also wouldn't expect the seller to reverse it if I was the buyer.

Hopefully it will be an easy fix.

I had the good fortune of buying from Mr Haney he is stand up fella and I can't enough good about him. If he says something is in a certain state of condition then it is how it is. He clearly has stated he was unaware of an issue and wants to make it right. Seems like a stand up guy IMO

Haney is not the seller.....he's the buyer.

About as vague as it gets. Why even say anything unless a bit more explanation is included?

People need to vent so they don't kill someone. I'll take the vague over homicide any day.

A stiff action must really chap his hide.
