no plans on buying from washington county but any dealer that would sell a non function firearm that is also broken and not stand behind their sale isn't anyone I'd want to buy from. they obviously don't clean or function test their used firearms
bought a used rifle from a dealer in NY

.45 acp
I have purchased two used long guns at two different dealers. Both required work. Luckily the work was minor, and I was able to fix them. The .22 had a shattered recoil buffer. I found out that with Marlin 60s, it's common to replace the buffer. The shotgun (Mossberg 500) was getting light firing pin strikes.

I would 100% out them on here over this,totally unacceptable for them not to take care of you.
I used one of these adapters in a psa lower so I could use a S&W mag. Works well and has last round lock back.

I have a CMMG adapter kit that drops into a standard AR upper and functions pretty much flawlessly as long as I am cleaning it and feeding it supersonic ammo.

sorry. Just remembered buying it
Assuming that the rifle can take a standard AR-15 upper I will gladly donate one for free to help out Dylan if someone can help him fix it. I am unfortunately too far being in downstate to render assistance.
Keep me updated!

No apology necessary man, I was just pointing it out. That is a cool product though and I had no idea it existed. I have a 15-22 and a 22 conversion bolt so this adapter would be useful.

Wow, thank you very much for that offer. I hope you don’t find it insulting as that is a very kind gesture. Although, I wouldn’t be able to take you up on it personally. I truly hope you understand and can’t thank you enough!
I’ve decided to drop the rifle off to a gunsmith that has been recommend to me by 3 people at my local range and hopefully will get to finally shoot this thing!
thank you all for the help and I appreciate all the great info you guys have passed my way.
He'd be receiving a Summons to Small Claims Court if it were me.
As an antique myself, I buy antiques that I never fire.
And used C&R's that I do.
I certainly don't expect a dealer to test fire every firearm. But you bought a gun that should work, not a collectible.

Never knew that
I have an old hinged-frame H&R revolver that may or may not interest you. Proofed for black powder (no caliber markings). .32 S&W (cartridges loaded with black powder unavailable since about 1940 as you probably already know), nickel plated maybe 60-70% remaining, 5" barrel. Not looking to get rich off it, just don't need it.
I would have to ship it '01' FFL because it's on my NYS PP.
Never knew that you were a "C&R" collector.

Thanks for the offer !
I'm certain we'd all love to see some pics.
But I'm at a point where I'm not really actively collecting anymore.
The .32 S&W was at one time the most popular civilian cartridge, and oddly enough was responsible for the most deaths by gunshot outside of war.
But that was due more to the lack of antibiotics and crude surgical techniques than anything else.
And yeah, real hard to find these days except as antique cartridges themselves.

Thank you for the quick reply. I will post pics in the very near future. Too lazy to go upstairs right now and grab it out of the safe for a 'photo op'.

What's the difference between the .32 s&w then and the modern .32 s&w? I actually didnt know they had a BP variant.

Because the PP Dept. asks who it was transferred to, and if I sold it out of state, I would need a receipt from an FFL showing that it had been removed from the state thru legal channels.
I can't just walk into the PP Dept. and ask them to arbitrarily remove a pistol from my permit. That always begs the question, who did you transfer it to?
Edit: Realistically, the best thing that could have happened a long time ago, is have this pistol classified as a "Curio and Relic", and not be on my permit.

The .32 S&W was first available loaded in black powder, later with smokeless. Smokeless powder would blow up an old hinged frame revolver not designed for it.
Later came the .32 S&W 'Long', more powder, heavier bullet. At one time a very popular cartridge for law enforcement.

It takes black powder in a metallic cartridge, so it isn't considered a "black powder" pistol, where the powder and projectile are loaded separately.

Ok, was wondering because the .32 s&w is very popular for bullseye, think they call it precision shooting now. One of my Benelli MP 95's was chambered in that. Not uncommon to drop 10 rounds in one hole.

Exactly. These are all very old and basically obsolete cartridges. They were designed for use with cartridges loaded with black powder, later loaded with smokeless. There was an overlap where both black powder and smokeless powder cartridges were both available. 2 others were the .38 and .44 Specials.
