I paid too much for a 4" TL from a well known auction site some years back. Exterior was not too bad but mechanically it was too far gone and bore was bad. "Buyer beware" is no joke...
A very talented friend of mine offered to hand polish and blue the gun as closely to original as possible and did an amazing job. So now I have a nice 4" non-shooting display TL, rescued from the scrap heap. It IS very pretty.
But I sure am snakebit when it comes to auctions! Never again.
