jfkid- that rifle never had free floating. This is evident due to the witness marks on it's proper saddle and the base between the barrels. The top barrel has become detached - either on purpose or perhaps by accident. The sellers are lying to you, either through ignorance or on purpose. Strong words, however strong words are necessary in this instance.
