[QUOTE="hershey, post: 350238, member: 13148"] well, since he hasn't disclosed the seller, i will be happy to. it is me. what i sold was a test fired only 300rum(since rebarrel), i just lost interest, and never pursued it. this is one of those genuine honest screw ups, where he was right and i sure thought i was right. the language in his phone conversation was to say the least, threatening, and not well recieved by me. when i got home i provided the link to the gunsmith, the delay was i wanted to speak to the smith first so he was not blind sided by this. i also disclosed what i could about the rifle, which honestly wasn't much, it was a gunshow purchase as a 338win mag, sent it out, got it back and sold it. what also serious complicated any sincere attempts to make it right was when he disclosed his load data to me. it was 7 grains over the powder manufacturers max load, and 5.5 over the bullet manufacturers max load. this is for the first shot he ever fired out of the rifle. based on that i did not feel to obligated to warranty it. my last correspondance with him was go read a loading manual and pay particular attention to the part about starting 10% low and work up. no offense to him but i thought he was rather clueless, but he kept providing good info that sounded credible and knowledgeable, so i was kind of at a loss as to figure this out. in hind sight understandably so. here is the sister thread to this one, kinda funny in hindsight...
