Rene is an excellent man to deal with in purchasing a firearm. I recently bought an amazing Harrington & Richardson Model 48 TOPPER 12 Gauge with a 30 Inch Barrel 3" Chamber and a very nice Full Choke with an Auto-Ejector that once you open the action, it launches the empty hull 10 feet behind me and I absolutely love it!!!! This "meat & potatoes" Single Shot both looks and performs like its spent the last 20 years as a Safe Queen because there isn't 1 single blemish on the bluing and I'd say that the bluing would be at 98% and the brass front bead is still nice and bright as well. This shotgun locks up as tight as a Brand New shotgun and the wood is flawless, maybe a tad dull from age ONLY. There aren't any scuffs or scrapes on either the forend or stock and the ONLY "damage" is a small 1/4" x 1/4" corner missing from the plastic butt plate on the bottom. I have since re-done the wood because this H&R M48 TOPPER deserved the extra work on it to make it look like it has just come out of the box, so I spend a Sat sanding down the wood and after I was finished, I was shocked with the amount of woodgrain that was hidden under the factory stain. I didn't see any woodgrain under the factory stain but after I sanded all the old stain off, the amount of woodgrain was shocking!!! It was then that I knew once I refinished the wood that it was going to look awesome and it did!!! I first put on 1 coat of TRU-OIL and allowed it to dry thoroughly, then I applied 2 coats of MINWAX RED MAHOGANY STAIN and after it dried thoroughly, I then applied another coat of TRU-OIL and allowed it to dry. After 2 days, I lightly sanded the wood with 000 Steel Wool and applied another coat of TRU-OIL, then used the 000 Steel Wool again, wiped off the dust with a damp cloth, allowed it to dry and sprayed the wood with 4 coats of Matte Clearcoat and it left me with a nice dark stained wood with a hint of RED and all that woodgrain just popped from the forend and stock, with the Matte Clearcoat layers to protect the wood without being "shiny" because I simply don't like shiny wood, so the Matte was perfect!!! All I need to do now is to install a White Ivory Front Bead to the barrel and I'm all set in the looks department. Finally, I'll install an Indian Creek Black Diamond Choke. Bottomline is that the H&R M48 TOPPER was an excellent purchase and RENE was the greatest guy to sell it to me!!! I will definitely buy another shotgun from him again!!! I watch his inventory every week and I'm waiting for a nice SxS 12 Gauge to pop up, then I'll buy that from him too!!! Thanks Rene!! You're the man!!! ~Tom...
The gun was advertised "minty" and it is in excellent condition. Chatted on the phone, arranged payment and shipping, received it quickly and wrapped excellent. Thanks, would definitely recommend Rene.
Bought a gun from Rene’ on Sunday evening and it came today 5 days wow very fast. I would gladly recommend this seller, very fast in response, shipping and pal check AAA seller
Was hesitant purchasing used online firearm for first time, I am very cautious and Rene quickly had my confidence.
Great to deal with, gun shipped that day, no fuss and exactly in condition as he said. Have told others to source from him, and will be looking to deal with him in future.
Rene is an excellent member, fast communication and products are as advertised. Provided options while I was out of country. I have dealt with in the past and look forward to future transactions.True Gentleman A+++++++
Rene was very easy to deal with. The gun I bought was bore sighted and when took to the range to be dialed in, it was right on the mark. The gunsmith said the gun was flawless. thank you Rene for the exact gun I was looking for.
Received item today, exactly as described. Very quick communication and shipped item immediately. Highly recommended seller, would absolutely do business with again. A+
Fast reply to his phone number, was able to meet him the same day. Very fair price, the rifle I bought is in very good condition and I’m sure it works as good as it looks. I recommend doing business with him. 10/10
No muss no fuss transaction. Very helpful and efficient throughout. Item as described and am very satisfied with the whole transaction. Would gladly deal with again and probably will haha. Deal with confidence here!
Rene and I have had several dealings now. Always a pleasure with Rene. Very fast and efficient. If you have a question, it will be answered right a way. Product is always better than in the pictures Rene posts. We will deal again
Rene was easy to deal with, professional, knowledgeable, and an excellent communicator. Additionally, his packaging of the rifle was extremely well done, and he shipped within 16 hours of my payment. He sells a lot of firearms, so one must bear in mind that it is difficult to know the exact condition of every part of a firearm the way someone would if they had owned it, cleaned it, and used it for many years. This is just part of selling in a higher volume. The rifle I received matched the description in Rene's ad. Smooth transaction. Recommended. Thank you Rene.
