Don't know how the rifle was described.
Don't know what the seller paid.
Rifle was neglected. Rust is superficial.
It'll clean off.
Might be some finish loss after it is cleaned up.
There is an issue between the buyer and seller; expectations and money are certainly at issue.
But the rifle itself is simply not as bad as the wailing and wringing of hands would make it out to be.

Is this a joke? Pretty sure a gas piston that needs to be hammered out of its cylinder constitutes more than "superficial" rust.
 
/That sucks

Bolt carrier looks deeply pitted. I might be inclined to run pics past Murdock and get a quote for blasting/refinishing. Guy works some refinishing magic.

Agree that feedback should be left.

Dissatisfaction can occur in any transaction. But if seller is unwilling to work out according to your satisfaction it will let others know and hopefully save them from similar hassles.

The ad looked something like that no?
 
I am shocked at the condition shown - not just shocked that the seller thought it was ok to sell like that but shocked that someone would let a firearm lapse into such a condition.
 
You know what, it almost makes me feel over the top with my guns. I would never call my guns mint but the care I take with my posessions not just my guns is just the way I feel it should be. For the winter I use a spray oil or remington spray dri lube on all exterior metal and run a wet oil patch through the barrel for storage. I also don't have a gun that would sit for 2 years either. The bolt adn carrier are deeply pitted and need blasting, I am actually replacing the bolt and this is a kick around spare now. The gas tube and piston are already thrown out and new ones on the way (stainless piston).

The gun is not garbage but was unsafe to shoot, this is a serious case of what if someone shot this thing and got hurt issue as well.
 
I got screwed on the EE once. But I would never dream of reselling it. I've got a bad deal POS revolver sitting in my safe from several years back, as a reminder to be careful who I deal with.
 
While the sight is shocking, the deal itself is even more disturbing.
Now, to be fair, I did something almost as scary two years ago. Truck gun is an SKS. Hunting season (yes I do hunt with it) was extremely busy at work then. I barely got any time off at all and what I did get was rushed. I had used that rifle to take a doe at 50yds then left it behind the seat for for the winter. I TOTALLY forgot about it. When I started shooting gophers, I went out the first morning to put the .22 behind the truck seat. And there it was!!! My absolute horror! My father would kill me if I hadn't already. Needless to say, no gopher shooting occurred that day. Even at that, the rifle was not as badly rusted as that since I do use oil on it. It was a little rusted at the muzzle (I had to touch up the crown a little) and the piston was rusted. NOT seized, mind you, but well rusted. It cleaned right up in an afternoon and shoots the same.
Never want to see that from me again. Even my wife jacked me up, and rightly so.
That being said, I would not have sold it for market rate like that. What the hell is wrong with people??

I did have a friend, a very good friend, who used his SKS (along with other rifles) during an outing with Boy Scouts. We both did. The boys fired thousands of rounds of .22LR and hundreds of x39, along with a few boxes of .308 and .30-06. It was a very snowy, wet day and when he went home at the end of the day, he put the rifles, all in cases, in his basement for cleaning, but got caught up in the kids and wife wanting stuff and he forgot them. His wife put them away the next day. He didn't hunt the following year because he was in school and brought me these rifles when he finally opened them to get ready to hunt last year. They looked a lot like the one you have here OP. The piston was seized in the gas tube, EVERYTHING was furry and stuck to the material of the case (it tore pieces off of the case). I soaked it lots, stripped it, and got the pieces apart and freed up. I soaked the gas tube in Ed's Red for a week. It came free with some persuasion. I cleaned it up, touched up the bluing, and it still shoots as a plinker should.

I will not name the guy but he is not new but has no trader rating. He will soon from what I hear though.

I certainly hope he leaves the appropriate feed back so someone else does not get screwed. Obviously the buyer made a serious mistake by not asking for pic's, but anyone who puts up a piece of junk like that in the EE, and does not even mention the work NEGLECT or RUST does not deserve to have access to the EE.

That being said, we are only hearing from the buyers side, would be interesting to hear from the seller.
