While browsing GB looking for a Dan Wesson 15-2 357 frame I spotted a nice looking 15-2 with an 8" barrel high bid of $405 with one day left in auction. Hardly a turn line on the cylinder & nice walnut DW target grip. Figured the barrel was worth @$400 & grip $75. Red flag no credit cards accepted by this FFL and the gun was listed as a Model 715 which is incorrect, it's a 15-2 which is the blued version vs stainless would be marked on frame.(red flag) Seller states the trigger doesn't return sometimes which I believe is just a matter of adjusting the trigger over travel set screw on the trigger which I've done on mine. He also stated the action was binding until he oiled it which could be carbon build up on cylinder/barrel or the barrel adjusted too tight B/C gap. Red flag #3 asked for more pictures and got none even though ad said he would supply if requested. Last two bidding against me were FFLs. Figured that was a good sign as FFL would be flipping it if they won and would bail out when they couldn't make a profit. Last FFL bidder bid $605 which I saw with 2 minutes left after noddng off & half asleep in a weak moment I bid $610 & won. Seller is FFL with A+ rating and positive feedback registered for several years. Address is residence so must work from his house in Vermont. Paying with USPS MO. If I get burned it'll be the first time. Best case I sell the barrel & get a frame for under $300. What do you think?
