              That would make too much sense, this is Calguns.

                  It is a riddle, wrapped in a mystery, inside an enigma; but perhaps there is a key.

                      Sounds like someone heard something from someone who was at a poker game...

                          wouldn't showing up at the sale and seeing this automatically cancel the sale?

                          i know i would walk away if at the meeting the gun is not in the same conditional as the ad says.

                                      If OP said that so and so is selling such gun in the sales forum and that is a fake finish, redo, what ever, his post will be deleted be mods.
                                      If you were looking at what he talks about, you would know which gun it is.

                                              So how do you know it was 0% original finish if they didn't say it in the ad? Did you have to send a PM for the info.? Did you actually meet up with the seller to find out? Did someone leave feedback stating the issue? Was it "word of mouth"? Please elaborate.

                                                      I was looking for a stainless or chrome gun
