The Ethics of Gun Sales

[Michael Zeleny]

I had had this revolver examined for mechanical fit and function by Peter Stefansky, a professional gunsmith and President at Bain & Davis Inc., a gun shop located at 307 East Valley Blvd in San Gabriel, CA 91776-3522. Mr Stefansky has observed its cylinder making contact with its frame when its yoke is swung out. He has observed damage on the frame of this revolver, at the places where the cylinder makes contact with it. He was unable to find any marks of damage or abuse on the frame, yoke, or cylinder of this revolver. Mr Stefansky has also examined Smith & Wesson .357 Magnum revolvers, Serial Number 50188, Registration 1829, and Serial Number 60220, no Registration number, for comparison of their mechanical fit and function. In both of these revolvers the cylinder rotates free of the frame with the yoke open. In his opinion, the observed interference between the cylinder and the frame of Smith & Wesson .357 Magnum revolver, Serial Number 47449, Registration 843, is due to a manufacturing defect. I will produce a copy of Mr Stefanskyâ??s sworn declaration to this effect on request.

I have listed this gun on Gunbroker.com with a full disclosure of its condition and provenance. As President of CADA, David Carroll deserves all the publicity he can get.
