I agree.
You should push for the full refund. If this gun was advertised as all-matching, it is their problem, not yours. This type of misrepesentation is at best incompetence, and at worst, dishonesty. Either way, it is not someone you want to deal with again.
I found out the hard way what "all-matching" means to some sellers. I tried to buy an "all-matching" black widow rig from a major dealer (who this forum is very familiar with). Turned out that the holdopen was mismatched, the tool was 63-proofed, and the second magazine was actually marked "made in Italy". None of this was pictured in the images or stated in the historical fluff that this seller includes on his website.
A heated discussion ensued, and because the gun was on layaway, he refused to give me a full refund. He kept $500 for the "inconvenience" I caused him.
Always ask about the grips, rear toggle pin, and holdopen when contemplating a purchase. These are the parts that are not routinely pictured. And never put an item on layaway. This forfeits your three-day inspection.
One of my collecting buddies always told me, "You're not a collector until you get taken at least once." It's official, I am a collector.
Just my two cents.
