    I know it's not in your nature to be any thing less than overly honest sir. That said, I'm not sure you need to do a lot more than just state what you have found with these problem guns.

    Another consideration on ammo. My experience has been that factory ammo is extremely dirty vs hand-loading ammo with the readily available clean powders available.

    Hand loading?!! That sounds like work!

    I've been a victim a few times, i.e.Mossberg safety would not come off safe. On the seller's defense, I didn't ask about the safety and I didn't function check it. But fixed for less than $20., eventually sold it but still disclosed the problem along with the fix. I can sleep at night. Pistols with faulty mags another one. I just throw the faulty ones in the trash and buy more if need them and go on with it.

    Never heard of Just Right. But I know Keltec. Maybe Indiucky would take it in on a trade. I wouldn't. So, my "fair value" price for that firearm would be a lot less than some of the non-dealers noted above.
