I think I'm going to toss that partial refund idea to the seller. You never know. At least it's worth a shot.

I have read about guys here in the Forum that have found ways to get dents out on stocks that they are refinishing. That is such a shame that there was a small dent under the decal. Heck that dent could have come from handling the gun rough at the factory. Who Knows ? I hope your next gun, that you have got coming, will be " All that you want it to be." I also hope that you can negotiate a partial refund on this gun. Wow that gun is so Nice. Best of Luck on the Next Gun and Best Wishes - Tom
A direct quote from the seller "Like new with williams peep sight in original box shoots and holds air". Nothing more.He had two Streaks listed on the exact same day, ending at the exact same day & time with the above statement. This one & a Silver Streak. Both had the same type photo's; obscure photo's, full left & right views. Came close to bidding on the SS, although someone asked if this gun had barrel seperation. The seller posted pics of the weld, no seperation however, I have never seen a worse weld on any Dan. Several gaps in the bead.& yes, even if the price was $250 I would hang onto it, but this isn't the case.

Looks like she’s staying home.Wow, if anyone can point me in the right direction of a craftsman capable of removing the dent, I would really appreciate it.
Yeah... it would be much more valuable to me as a shooter. That said, I don't shoot my vintage guns near as much as my modern guns so wear would be minimal.

Closer inspection showed the impact went below the surface of the wood. So much for a mint Blue.Making arrangements to send it back to the seller. We'll... fun while it lasted. Have another one due in on the 11th. Hopefully I'll have better luck with it.So you want a gun that's too nice to use and are getting rid of this one because of one scratch ?I'm sorry, but I don't get it.They were meant to shoot and to see / hear that a gun like this is just going to sit around doesn't sound sane to me.YOU'RE RIGHT...YOU DON'T GET IT!!!!!!!

My plans at this time are to place in a sock & store it. I still think it’s that good. Aside from the ding it is some of the nicest wood I’ve seen. I was hoping the pix would give a better representation of an unmolested original wood finish. It’s nothing like I’ve seen before. Even when compared to the’69. It’s a soft satin finish w/o the pores of the grain being clogged. It's difficult to explain. This plus the metal…well, I’m happy it’s mine.
