little late but......

why is he selling it after so few rounds?
can you try it out?
price doesn't seem terrible I would only be concerned with why he is selling.
you save $30 and no paperwork, not a bad thing.

if he lets you try it out run a full box of shells through it. my Taurus for the first couple boxes would "bind" up after 20 shots or so. build up in the revolver made it hard to rotate to the next shell. after a few boxes and some good cleanings, no more issues.
