I do not know anything about you torontogungal but I do know the clerks @ Epps are not on Commission .I do not know From what experience you made your statements .I have dealt with Epps before George and Wes took over and over the years have had a good working relationship with them .Am not going to Cry a River over this,Just letting you all Know How I was treated so maybe you will take some extra care dealing with them .One does not get a chance to check and test used guns until they are paid for and when they are not willing to look at a problem then the 30 day policy is not worth Mouse poop !
As to any repairs or work needed in the gun shop Doug the gunsmith is second to none His workmanship has always been beyond my expectations
With regard to the Gun , It the receiver was very dirty and I washed it out myself How ever the tang screw seemed very hard to get loose having had locktight to hold it , Once I got a half a turn I realized there was no treads in the lower tang to tighten it back up , There was something On the screw itself than came off ( I am a Mechanic) Other than that the rifle NOW WORKS GREAT ! The lower tang now needs to be taped and a larger screw installed .Better now than later before the rear stock spits .So now the gun is tied up until I can find a new screw .
I do not see no 30 day money back policy working here- unless I involve a lawyer ,and being retired I suspect Epps will take the chance this will not end up a Legal matter, since I have not the funds to retain a lawyer I believe Epps knew something about this gun and hoped to pass on the repair to some one else at their expense .I do know a good Gunsmith who also has a machine shop so the repair is not going to cost the cost of the gun ,
Why am I writing about all this in the first place ? To say Epps Or Wes can not be trusted to do the right thing anymore . For Many Years you could expect nothing but the best Now best to have the gun in hand and give it a good look .
