Seller completely misrepresented item so everything is on him. His as-is BS only applies if he sends you the correct item, and you shouldn't have to sit around waiting for him to get the correct item just because he is incapable of looking at what he is actually selling.

Super unprofessional email response you sent.

Lots of filler words and bullshit. You're not friends, he is not your buddy; get to the fucking point.

Even your response in this thread are long winded.

When you respond with short to the point emails, it leaves the other person no wiggle room.

I am an FFL with 4 different lic and 3 SOT's for the co's we own

 
The ATF will get involved and have

A customer charged back 100 receivers 2 years ago, the ATF did get involved and the guy paid by cert check the following day.

He said he never received the lowers to his CC co, they were logged into his book

There are 2 other instances with lessor amounts of lowers or guns.




First of all you will have to lie on the affidavit to the CC co saying the gun was returned, now the ATF knows you have the gun and the money

So i did NOT accept the rifle at my FFL and kept it in his possession and contacted the seller.

Not to CC co, they will never allow the charge back until the OP proves it was sent back to the FFL and he did in fact receive it, if he refuses the shipped colt back the OP is still screwed

If a gun is stolen we as FFL's have top by rule/law report it stolen.
If a customer lies and says he sent back a rifle and now has the gun or his FFL still has the gun he has the gun and the money technically

Lots of talk on charge back, and I think jrzy has some valid points.

Here is what I would do.  Check to see how long you have before you can no longer file a chargeback.  Agree with the dealer on a reasonable time frame for a replacement rifle that is within the chargeback period.  Return the incorrect rifle to the dealer.  Once he has received it and logged it now there's proof it was returned.  Wait for your replacement.  Either you receive the replacement (and now you're happy) or you then initiate a charge back.  

Now you have proof the rifle was returned, you attempted in good faith to work with the merchant and now doubt the merchant can fulfill his end of the bargain.  But first you need to move the rifle back to the seller.

My first thought was he switched the A4 upper for the HBar because those sumbitches are heeeavy and don't sell well, hoping you wouldn't notice.  Would explain his reluctance toward taking the gun back.

cactus jack who I believe is banned here use to be so nasty to everyone , he got into it pretty good with RGuns (Illinois one)
He wanted a refund on a few AR 15 parts , like 12 bucks worth, Rguns said they would "just ship him new parts, keep the old ones no problem"  

He got pissed and started complaining on every gun board how rguns were crooks and bad to deal with, he even tried posting BS about them here and got shouted down.

Rguns finally had enough and started posting his real life info all over the net.

catus jack had fucked with so many people he started getting threatening phone calls and death threats.

He called the FBI for protection LOL

Yep, if that org box serial number comes back from colt with a 1-7 twist info in the serial number run they might just switch it for you, call Colt with the serial number and explain the problem.

Who gives a fuck if 1 in 9 is a better choice for most bullet weights. It was advertised as a 1 in 7 and that is what OP wanted. The seller overlooked a major feature of the rifle. What else is wrong with the rifle? I wouldn't want it at all after the seller misrepresented his product. I would return the rifle, file a claim with Gunbroker and get my money back.

Too much wishy washy BS.  Just get straight to the point.  The only thing that you have to explain to him is that the item you got is not what you bought.  He can either send you the correct rifle or your money.  Either way you aren't accepting the one he shipped.  That's it, end of story.

If you are trying to weasel out of allowing him sending you the correct rifle then you are in the wrong, not him.  He would be within his rights try to correct the error in a timely manner and fulfill the terms of the auction.  All this bullshit about how you are jaded and want to call the whole thing off is cunt talk.  Don't be that guy.  That doesn't mean you have to accept the wrong rifle or wait a month for him to make it right with the correct rifle.

I guess you are misunderstanding me a bit.  I'm not saying you have to deliver the message to him in a prickish way.  I'm just saying that you need to leave the extraneous stuff out and get to the point.  He will respect you more if you just stick to business and there will be less hurt feels.

The narrative that you are jaded on online deals and just want out would aggravate most people, not make them feel better about returning your money.

It isn't about the just the twist rate or barrel profile, it is about the seller posting the exact product to a seller as advertised exactly.

If the seller wasn't trying to dupe anyone that seller is an idiot. I cannot fathom how the seller could possibly mistake a HBAR barrel for a gov barrel.

Too much wishy washy BS.  Just get straight to the point.  The only thing that you have to explain to him is that the item you got is not what you bought.  He can either send you the correct rifle or your money.  Either way you aren't accepting the one he shipped.  That's it, end of story.



If you are trying to weasel out of allowing him sending you the correct rifle then you are in the wrong, not him.  He would be within his rights try to correct the error in a timely manner and fulfill the terms of the auction.  All this bullshit about how you are jaded and want to call the whole thing off is cunt talk.  Don't be that guy.  That doesn't mean you have to accept the wrong rifle or wait a month for him to make it right with the correct rifle.







  I tend to be nice to people, and do not believe he is personally responsible (might be who knows). That said I understand what you are saying.





What i comes down to is this. If that auction had a shipping time of two+ weeks i would have said fuck that and moved on. If that auction stated i would get a cock tease rifle, THEN i MIGHT get a correct replacement in who knows how fucking long, I would have said Fuck it. My only job was to provide him with money and an FFL. I did my part. He failed on his. I do not want a replacement regardless if it is "right", I just want my money back to start over. Being a dick up front usually does not get you what you want. Hence the "cunt" talk





I guess you are misunderstanding me a bit.  I'm not saying you have to deliver the message to him in a prickish way.  I'm just saying that you need to leave the extraneous stuff out and get to the point.  He will respect you more if you just stick to business and there will be less hurt feels.



The narrative that you are jaded on online deals and just want out would aggravate most people, not make them feel better about returning your money.




 
very true, mistakes were made

Copy and paste error in listing the item, I've done it before. When you sell hundreds or thousands of items each month, it happens. Why do you think the seller is out to fuck someone over? You think a 1/9" rifle costs a penny less than a 1/7" rifle?

I think you're unreasonable for not letting the seller fix it.


If I was told it was an A2 profile 1/7, and they guy was so inattentive that he sent me a HBAR 1/9, even if he wasn't guilty of swapping colt parts for cheaper ones like so many do, I wouldn't want any gun he ever touched, and I bet his personal guns have hammer marks and blurred screw slots.




It could also be that there are so many new gun owners who buy ARs' specifically without really knowing what they are buying. The seller posts the add with the specs cut and and paste from wherever to sell the rifle to unsuspecting guy who probably does not know the difference,



The twist rate is right there on the barrel. How does one fuck that up? I think the guy (the seller) set out to try dupe OP or whoever else would have bought it.

Yes, but that model never has, and never will come with a 1:9 HBAR.....somewhere, somehow, by someone, it was switched.

Update: So my FFL shipped the rifle back with his shipping label he sent the FFL the following morning of my "cunt talk" email lol. Should I have received a refund by now or is he waiting until he receives the rifle? I never took possession so I'm not sure what the delay would be.

Sorry, but no.   That silliness needs to be buried already.

There is no advantage to the 1/9 unless you intend to shoot varmint projectiles less than 55gr.     Nobody is buying this sort of rifle to shoot 45gr varmint loads, nor are they going to want the ability to do so at the expense of limiting their choice of heavier projectiles.   Some 1/9 barrels will shoot 75-77gr fine, some won't.


The seller can't really fall back on "as is" if the ad doesn't actually describe it as it is.

It probably is a production error.

Update 3: Rifle on it's way back, I contacted the guy again, he said he had contacted gunbroker, and would inspect the rifle first to make sure it does not match the description, and then issue a refund.

I have had claimed 1/7s that will shoot anything 55 and up, and I've seen manufacture claimed 1/9 that wouldn't stabilize 64 grain.

True, my 1 in 7 has terrible accuracy with anything below 62gr.

I have had claimed 1/7s that will shoot anything 55 and up, and I've seen manufacture claimed 1/9 that wouldn't stabilize 64 grain.

Qualifying on A2's in the Guard(obviously 1/7 twist) we only received the correct 62 grain ammo one time while I was in. All other years-during Basic Training and in the unit, we had 55 grain. The 1/7 I currently have(A2 clone build) groups acceptably with 55, but shoots to a different POI than with 62.
