update.... did the trade, remmy, is brand new, took it to my gunsmith, he checked it out, all good, had to wipe off the facory oil, put 50 rds through it and works great, serial number comes up clean as well, shows him as the last one to buy it, traded a $400 used gun with 150 rds and a nylon holster, for a brandnew, $650 gun, must be my lucky day. Not that my gun was junk, it looked brand new as well, but i had 300 rounds through it
