I think there are still some dealers out there that offer a 3-day inspection and return-for-any-reason policy. A buyer's only risk would be loosing the $ 25-35 each way to "see" the gun in person. This also assumes the gun is returned in the condition it was sent.
Those are the folks I would deal with, if I cannot travel to see a piece in person.
