I have a similar experience to this… I have a buddy whom wanted to sell a Beretta Silver Pigeon. We were shooting skeet at a buddy’s ranch and I was giving the gun to see if I liked it. Unfortunately, I was also wearing a .45 on my hip. After the shoot, I noticed that I scared the stock on the Beretta with my .45. I felt I needed to get the gun back to the original condition, so I paid the $250 to have the gun sent to Beretta to restore the gun correctly. I did not buy the gun.
