My brother is fairly new with firearms and he just bought a S&W m686 from a shop in Amherst ,NH called The Sportsman's Trading Company. He was told it was brand new, after closer examination at home, he suspected it was used.
1. I know it's test fired at the factory and he was given the casing from the test round, but the pistol seems to have a bit of carbon residue in all the chambers, the end of the muzzle, and in a few other places that you might expect to see in a used gun.
2.The gun was also bone dry with only a bit of oil coming out down the trigger from the trigger mechanism. Doesn't S&W put any packing lubricant on new guns?
3. The hammer and trigger are very tarnished, which also seems odd for a new gun.
To me it's clearly not new. If the owner of the shop tries to deny it's used, what recourse do I have?
Thanks in advance for any input.
