Learn from my mistake on Gunbroker

[Shark1007]

Shot my CCO yesterday. It's accurate as heck but the trigger is so light it occasionally double tapped. Upon careful inspection, it had a recoil buffer installed. That told me something. It was beyond filthy, the ejector was slightly damaged but functioned well. It has been rode hard and put up wet.

The lessons I learned is to avoid low feedback sellers, to demand careful pictures of internals and be careful where you place your trust. The guy seemed really nice on the phone, tossed in a holster we hadn't discussed and now I know why.

Someone once told me about falling in love with inanimate objects. "They are just things, set a limit and move on, there will be another soon"

Few bucks at a smith will fix this one I suspect, but it sure is disappointing to tear into a box of a "like new" gun and realize you have been hosed. I did leave the fellow appropriate feedback. First I gave him an email and a week to reply and no answer. It was hard to fire him up with neg feedback, but it was the truth. Clearly it was partly my fault for jumping on the band wagon without the pics.

Otherwise, neat pistol.
