    I would but it's already somewhere else. Plus my LGS said since it was consignment the original owner would have to pay all the repair costs since they gave them a faulty rifle to sell so I would have no out of pocket expense. Guess that's one good thing..

    Yeah that is one positive going for you at this point, hopefully they don't try to make you eat the bill (or a portion of it) later on down the road.

    *This is also a good time to say to all the people of MDS (not directed at the OP in any way), when a person as knowledgeable and skilled as Chad makes an offer to get your stuff up and running - make the time and drive to let him do it. The guys like Yoda in a gunsmith apron when it comes to this stuff.

    And yes, I've gladly made a 140+ mile drive just to get Chad to work on some of my stuff when the offer was presented to me - it was worth every penny of fuel consumed.

    Damn. And I thought my 30 mile drive was far.

    70+ miles each way. Country living has some trade-offs.

    It's easier during the week since I work about 10 minutes away (depending on traffic conditions).

    Never heard of someone having to compensate you on a consignment, most are "as is" unless it was explicitely represented as functioning by the owner with some written guarantee to that affect.

    By the way Chad is awesome, he does fantastic work and backs it up.

    I guess the LGS I go to makes the person putting a gun on consignment agree that he will pay for repairs if the firearm does not function upon purchase. No one wants to buy a broken gun.
