So thousands of folks all around the country buy C&B revolvers from Cabela's and other on line dealers with generous return policies, only to return them because they found some kind of undesirable defect. Sometimes the guns are even fired before the defects are revealed to the buyer and returned.
What do you think happens to these guns?
Even if most of them do get sent back to Italy, then what?
Does Pietta and the other makers try to fix them up and then turn around and sell them at a discount as factory seconds?
Do they salvage some of the usable parts to install in another gun which is then resold as new?
Do they send the unusable parts to the foundary to melt down and remake into new frames and parts, or is it just sold as plain old scrap?
What if they never get sent back to Italy at all, but rather they get shipped to some third world country or to a liquidation outfit to be sold at a significant discount where they might even mix and match parts in order to make it possible to sell them?
What does anyone think happens to these defective and sometimes used guns?
I've seen used BP rifles for sale in the bargain cave of my local Cabela's that were returned after being fired and they are sold as is. Some are even missing parts and look a mess.
But I have rarely ever seen a C&B revolver for sale in the local Bargain Cave. The only one or two that I've ever seen there looked brand new and unfired.
With the large number of returns, a lot more of them should be seen for sale in every Cabela's Bargain Cave. But evidently they're not being sold there.
So what does happen to all of them?
