Herb,

I may be wrong but I believe that the prohibition on the removal or changing of firearms stamps is limited to the manufacturers mark and the serial number... The changing of a date stamp may not be in and of itself illegal, but to do so to mispresent an item for sale in order to portray it as something it is not IS ILLEGAL in all states and that is called FRAUD. I would say that they may indeed have some legal recourse to their transaction if they can prove that the seller either changed the stamps himself, or had it done...
