So, marked down $50 (the others were $500), lots of pictures you could have looked at, but didn't know how to which would have showed the bayonet.
You are not satisfied with the rifle, which I understand, but you did get the one you chose off the site. Buy one from Corwin Arms, you get the next one in the pile. I have talked to Al about this, and he is just as frustrated as you are about this.
I don't think he has any idea how this bayonet found its way onto your rifle.
He has brought tens of thousands of these rifles into Canada. These are military surplus, not newly manufactured rifles with warrantees . Things happen in 60 odd years. They all have stories, which is why most of us love them so. I don't know anything about your correspondence with Al, perhaps he grew weary of trying to reason with you. He has many customers, and tries his best to please them all. There are only so many waking hours.
What isn't so cool is hijacking a thread(s) that has absolutely nothing to do with your experience. Post up a rifle you got from them that you liked. Buy another one, I bet you find that you like that one just fine.
Sh!t happens. He has always brought exactly what I wanted for me, and many others.
I would be happy if this thread was edited to the salient posts, and move forward.
With sympathy, and all due respect, you sir must wear some of this.
