I have to admit I did, and its all because I knew the seller was a no risk, honest type of guy. I can assure you it wont happen again, and the guy I got it from wont either I'm sure, hope he doesn't beat the guy too bad :chuckle:

I am sure that the guy that sold you tha 17 HMR is having nightmares about what could have happened.  Glad he made it right.  Any chance you got the name and phone number of the gunsmith?

Usually does not open shop until after 1:00 or so.. call before going....he is in Lacey about 5-10 minutes from Cabelas parking lot, just in case you feel like spending some money :chuckle:

Great write up man. I am sure who ever sold it feels very bad. Probably didnt even know it was blocked or he probably wouldnt have ever sold it. Specially knowing it was going into a little kids hands.

But thanks for sharing the story. Good read!
