beware CDNN

[hotrifle3]

:( Bought a puma 1892 357/38 rifle from CDNN of Abilene. It was a closeout and was to have had minor apperance blems. Got rifle and it was beautiful, no blems I could find, octagonal barrel, brass receiver and buttplate, good wood stock, and decent sights. One problem, no firing pin! My transfer dealer called for email return authorization, never came. After 2 days, I called for return authorization but it no showed too. They allow only 3 days to call for return. I called Legacy Sports Intl. (importers) and they told me to call a gunsmith at $85.00 minimum plus shipping, called Braztech/Rossi in Miami who make the thing and they were
$50.00 min. plus parts plus shipping. Finally called home office of CDNN and after a lot of shifting and holding got someone to send me the return authorization. Gun is on way back to CDNN and who knows what they will do. I spent most of day and many bucks on my long distance bill for what should be a simple matter. So far I am out cost of rifle, shipping, transfer fee, and long distance and still don^t have gun or solution. Should not be this much hassle to purchase a gun legally from a large well established company. CDNN has forgotten it customer, just send them money.

I won't deal with CDNN: (Out Right Crooks) <_< .
They advertise Items to be from one maker and in fact are made
by someone else.
Case in point:
They advertise parts for the 1911 .45 that they say are made by Chip McCormick but not in the factory wrap and for a little cheaper. I called McCormick and they said NO those are not their parts and that all parts come in factory wrap.
I then called CDNN and told them of this and the guy said that's true,
but Oh'well :o .
