Was looking at Smith and Wesson 629 Mountain Guns on Gunbroker and saw this S&W 629-5 Mountain Gun for sale.
The problem is if I am correct the internal lock on Smith 629's was added added on the 629-6 generation not the 629-5.
It got me to thinking how many guns for sale are mis-marked/mis-identified?
I would be upset if I believed I was purchasing one gun and received another.
It's easy to see the mistake here but a lot of items for sale online only have 1 picture and if it's the other side of the gun you aren't gonna see the internal lock and believe you are purchasing a genuine 629-5.
Is there any recourse for the buyer if he buys a gun believing he is getting what the ad states it is when it is in fact not that?
