AFTER you have your money back Ron, I would send the copy of the dealer's license and the photos you posted to your local ATF office... If the sender was a licensed dealer, HE SHOULD HAVE KNOWN BETTER... He was just pawning his problem off on you.
A final alternative, if the guy doesn't refund your money is to seek ATF permission have the gun legitimately "repaired" by TIG welding and then have it re-serialized by the ATF. It would still make a good shooter if they allow you to do that. It sure would be better than a several hundred dollar hole in your checking account.
