happycowboy,

You do not sound too happy. I hate to be a "Monday morning quarterback" here, but when I come across such cases, I ask the seller to strip the gun, remove the bolt or whatever at point of sale. Failure to accomplish the task reduces the price big time.

I looked at a N0.4 Mk1 once long ago and could not get the bolt out to view the bore. The seller fussed with it a bit, put the rifle in his bench vise and tore a few fingernails and did not remove the bolt. I got the rifle for $15.00. The locking bolt latch was abused and for $3.50 I got a new gizmo. Oh, the bore was perfect and the rifle had matching numbers.

Adam
