smithie 2,429 Posted May 28, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 28, 2012 (edited) 410 hushpower. the safety catch doesnt work, its stiff when you break barrell and theres a piece missing off the end of the barrell (it is somesort of boss that gets locktighted on). gun shop says its not safe to shoot and if the piece missing off the end doesnt come out of the sleave it is 140 quid for the new parts + fitting:( its done now i suppose, Edited May 28, 2012 by smithie Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dave goodall 10 Posted May 28, 2012 Report Share Posted May 28, 2012 Even if u had paid in goods your not coverd with paypal for anything gun related or knives weapons of any kind read there policys Quote Link to post Share on other sites
PETEWINN 5 Posted May 28, 2012 Report Share Posted May 28, 2012 Get in touch with paypal and tell them you sent the gift to the wrong email address. Probably won't work but worth a try. Like others have said no cover for firearms and don't think you get any cover if it's a gift. Normal paypal purchases you get 45 days to query them. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ratattack 111 Posted May 29, 2012 Report Share Posted May 29, 2012 Why the fudge did he buy it if it was buggered?? I assume he saw the gun in the metal before paying for it!! If not then he will have to right it off to experience and stump up to have it fixed! Buyer beware! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
