Trying to figure out what to do here. I have been eyeballing a new firearm for a while now. Nothing rare, I see one usually at each fun show, but not very common either. It is current production.
This particular gun seems to have a lot of issues with fit and finish. Sort of makes me leary of buying it sight unseen.
I can get it at the fun show, or save $45 (after shipping and FFL transfer) and get it from an FFL dealer on the Internet, or I found a private seller and save $55 over fun show pricing.
The private seller says he returned the firearm to the manufacturer and they replaced it with a new one that is perfect. They are known for finishing problems. He says it is perfect.
What would you do?
EDIT:
The savings above includes taxes & FFL fees and shipping. The gun is out of state (only ohoto's available) and is going to be shipped by an FFL on both sides.
