Selling a rifle with a questionable trigger job.

[slowr1der]

I have a Savage Mark II BTV .22 rifle I'm selling. It has the accu trigger, but the previous owner decided that it wasn't light enough so performed a trigger job on it. He said he polished the internals and clipped the adjustment spring. However, all I can see is that the adjustment spring has been cut from looking at it. Anyway, the trigger feels great and on it's heaviest setting it seems to work fine,but feels just like the stock accu trigger does at the lowest setting. If you adjust it lower though while it feels great it acts like it wants to go off if you close the bolt hard. It doesn't go off since the accu trigger design prevents it from going off unless you have the trigger safety pulled, but it does click and locks the trigger like it would if you pulled it without having the trigger safety pulled in. You then have to re cock the bolt. My solution to this is to just run it on it's heaviest setting which feels pretty good anyway.

So now that I'm selling this, I'm wondering I listed the problem with it in the ad very clearly, but I'm wondering if I should mention this on the bill of sale or something? If so, how should I word it? I just don't want problems from this later on down the road.

I listed them on the ad, I'm just wondering if they need to be listed on the bill of sale also?

I wouldn't buy it, but if I were going to sell it I would say the following: "purchaser agrees to receive rifle as is, and deal is final. Purchaser also acknowledges full understanding of the trigger's having received alterations by a previous owner (you may even name the owner) and understands the potential dangers of operating a firearm with such alterations. Purchaser agrees that any accidental discharges or other damage caused by operation of this firearm is in no way the fault of the seller."
Sign, date, then immediately copy it and mail the copy to yourself and then when it comes back don't open it and keep it forever. That way you have a postmarked and sealed copy so no one can say you faked it to cover yourself.

Thanks for the suggestion. That sounds like the way I'm going to go about it. Thanks again.
