The Ethics of Gun Sales

To address recently voiced concerns:

1. Suppose that you are selling a Luger that you represent as all matching. A year after the sale the buyer informs you that its unnumbered firing pin indicates replacement. He claims that you misrepresented your gun. He wants you to make it good. As you see it, all numbers in the gun are matching. What would you do?

2. Suppose that you are selling a shotgun that you represent as 100% mechanically sound. A year after the sale the buyer informs you that the markings on its barrel indicate a repaired bulge. He claims that you misrepresented your gun. He wants you to make it good. As you see it, the repair made the gun 100% mechanically sound. What would you do?
