Wonder if somebody had it in a vice and used something through the cylinder window to try and correct a barrel cant - or change barrels if the original had forcing cone issues. Secondly, there are marks on the end of the extractor rod like someone was holding it or turning it with pliers.

I don't mean to put you off this gun, but if it were me, I'd want to examine it in person before I made a buying decision.

Just my $.02

Adios,

All of this. These were my thoughts exactly. I just wanted to make sure that I was not just being overly cautious. Thanks for the help for sure.

I will check out the classifieds here. See what I find.
