Just being the curious type, I called HK on a HK USP 9mm I bought 8/19/99 today. I asked if they could tell me the date of manufacture. After providing the date code stamped in the slide (KF) they informed me it was manufactured in 1995. I asked the dealer twice before I bought it if it was a new gun, and he answered in the affirmative both times. The receipt states it is new. Upon inspection, I found wear on the barrel from the slide and a sloppy touchup with a felt tip on the breach.
Question: Is it a violation of Federal statute to sell a used firearm as new?
I have already attempted to return it for a refund without success. He (the dealer) stonewalls and says it is new. The dealer claims it just came in a week ago. HK says no way a USP sits on the shelf for five to six years. Suggestions?
