I rejected one GB purchase, a S&W 617 that was sold as “NIB.”
My FFL called me when it came in, the gun was not NIB it was dirty with firing residue and had a cylinder that had the ejector rod unscrewing so it wouldn’t open easily.
Without even looking at it I rejected it, contacted the seller and he took it back after blaming his wholesaler (Claimed he never opens the boxes when they come in. Tough to believe that he didn’t confirm serial numbers for his ATF dealer log books unless it came factory-sealed and direct from S&W.
)
With any gun, a good clean-lube prior to firing will help let you know if you have a lemon or not.
Stay safe.
