Re: Dealer check

I agree with .500 Nitro. I pay attention to the double rifles mostly, and I've seen some in his inventory that were not represented accurately. When I've asked questions about them (proof marks, condition, etc.), he either didn't know much or was being evasive - I don't know which.

That doesn't mean that he doesn't get some nice stuff from time to time. If you're looking at a double rifle or other high end double gun, you'll need to get it evaluated by a pro anyway, no matter who you buy from. Unless one of the handful of guys qualified to do that is available to you locally (a true gunmaker as opposed to a gunsmith), it will be impossible to get it done within a 3-day inspection period. If you can't get at least 10 days to get your due diligence done in, buy from someone else.
