If you look at the Legacy web site photos, there is no scratch from the safety lever being swung. No shiney spots on the back of the receiver from the toggle hitting it. But the bottom of the mag. shows dings from being dropped and the top of the mag. body shows bluing loss from use.
The grips do not look new like the rest of the gun.
It would be interesting to see photos of the gun with the toggle raised and locked back.
To me it just does not show that "even" wear that we sometimes have to fall back on.
Is the seller offering a 3 day inspection?
This is the exact reason that I will not pay for that unique mark, interesting story, or special condition. I can't afford loosing $2500 on a $4000 gun. And IMHO, that is a real possibility with this gun.
But then if you are a serious collector who would always kick yourself over "the one that got away", maybe it is worth the risk.
