Refurbished Mosins being sold as UNISSUED/UNFIRED/NEVER ISSUED @ Rangeview AVOID!!

I'm no huge Mosin expert, but unissued does not mean brand new. These guns have been sitting in some soviet era arsenal for 70+ years, they are going to need refurbishment in order to be viable on the surplus market.

Un-issued/never issued means brand new from the factory, not arsenal refurbished. All numbers matching and no tampering or poor repairs. These guns have been poorly repaired, proof marks on mine is tampered with, and are in no way remotely close to what was described. There are Chinese SKS that are factory new that have been sitting in Cosmo for years, as well as Russian and yugo SKS. It's possible to get one that's unmolested but very rare.
 
I wonder who te supplier was, NS? The retailer hold the bag on this one, to the customer, if true, the fact that they were told a lie by the supplier, doesn’t relieve them of the responsibility of checking what they are selling before shipping to unsuspecting buyers at exorbitant prices!
 
This reminds me of grocery chains selling hamburger meat. "Made with 100% pure Canadian beef". Yep, there is 100% Canadian beef...also a lot of other non Canadian stuff, maybe more than half but they aren't lying.

They name the company “100% Canadian beef “ and then they can put it on whatever without ever lying
 
But with Trump we live in a post-fact world. Facts don't matter anymore. You can just say whatever you want and claim the fake media is lying when you get corrected.

Sad that Canadian retailers are acting like Trump though...

That came out of nowhere... i guess someone is living rent free in your head
 
That is a bummer. I wasn't aware of Rangeview, but I sure am now! Please keep us posted. Jeez, we have few enough dealers these days.
 
Hahaha.... Indeed I never understood the hate for Trump....since 2016 all my investments in the stock market are doing crazy well....I might just be able to retire early.

I'm with you on that. Trump couldn't hold a candle to some of the bull dung that okabama spewed.

For the guys that have been refused a refund, do as mentioned before and call your CC company and file a dispute and also file a fraud report with York Regional Police. The officer at the desk last night was super helpful and mentioned that this is something their fraud department would have a look at.


Here is the link spoke with an officer this morning to clarify details and they are going to look into it. I would suggest all of you that have a mosin and are being refused a refund do the same thing.
 
Call Rangeview this morning. As soon as I said I was calling about the unissued rifle his tone changed. Told him my bolt had rust on it and he got a bit upset about people posting their opinions on web sites. He told me all sales final and he was talking to his supplier. I told him that the rifle was not what he advertised and it was fraud. He asked me if I opened the box and if I did he could not do anything anyway all rifles are final sale. I said how elae could I inspect the rifle. He asked if I cleaned of the cosmo. I said how else can I inspect what I had and asked if his buyer looked at any of these. He said then the rifle is altered and he would never take back an altered rifle. That I'm not a gun smith so I can't clean it without altering the rifle.
So called cc company. Told them my story. They said send copies of my receipt with the words unissued on it and take the rifle to an expert and get their opinion on their letterhead stating that the rifle is not as stated and he will process my dispute. He says it sounds like I have an excellent chance on my claim. They have to wait 15 days though.

Yeah that's Bull.. Looks like that business won't be around long. Just shows, can have a fancy website, and still have crappy CS.

Well, thanks for that BBB, from that letter, it doesn't look like the supplier is the issue as the retailer seemed to say!
Maybe those that bought could get together and have a lawyer send a letter etc. Really too bad it has to come to this. I doubt anyone would buy from this operation again.
I can understand one person saying a firearm is in good condition and another saying very good, kind of in sthe eye of the beholder, but, to say that an obvious refurb ( unissued) is never issued, is either a fool and should not be selling firearms or a cheat.

Thats the next step, if CC company won't resolve it, lawyers come next.

It didn't come out of nowhere. It was a response to VinnyQC saying there is no such thing as an alternative fact. I was simply pointing out in a post Trump world there absolutely IS alternative facts.

Hahaha.... Indeed I never understood the hate for Trump....since 2016 all my investments in the stock market are doing crazy well....I might just be able to retire early.

The stock market was doing good before Trump showed up too. It's gone pretty stagnant lately though.

https://finance.yahoo.com/news/trump-should-stop-bragging-about-the-stock-market-172327202.html

.Through last November, the performance of the stock market was a winner for Trump on the Yahoo Finance Trumponomics Report Card, where he ranked second on stocks compared with six prior presidents. But Trump has now fallen to fifth, behind Presidents Obama, Clinton, George H.W. Bush and Reagan.

It's pretty simple to me; I feel we are all owed the difference between what we paid, and what the market for nice condition refurbs actually is.

I estimate that value difference to be about $350 between the laminate, and hardwood I purchased.
All they need to do is refund the difference, and apologise for the indescretion.

That's it.

Otherwise, they should be liable for return shipping, and full refund. Period.
We aren't talking about a huge amount of money here. For some, maybe, but lawyers cost more per hour than I'm out by doing nothing.

Let's just keep perspective here, and act like adults.
 
Looking at their google reviews, 11 people have posted so far and given them 1 star. Their rating went from 4.8 yesterday to 3.9 this morning.

As little a difference as some people think this makes, I know for myself I typically research the business before I spend my dollars.

The google ratings, along with the CC companies, police, RCMP, and these forum posts I wonder how and why Rangeview hasn't stepped up here.

Seems like they're having fun just watching themselves go down across the board.
