I'll see what happens.
At the very least, I don't think TNL was intentionally trying to pawn off a dud on me. The gun has potential - it just needed some (edit: a lot of) loving and some doctoring by someone who knew knows what they're doing.
Still, I should have been informed, and my opinions of his gun doctoring skills will stay in his trade rating for future noobs.
The M16 seller (tim001ca), though, must have known about the issues. At least the crack on the receiver - the other issues
could be an honest mistakes.
edit: The hockey tape wiring fix still makes me laugh. Honestly, I can't stay mad at TNL. This gun made me lol many times.
