Again, there's no such thing as a verbal contract in real estate. It doesn't exist and you will lose in court. I don't even accept verbal offers over the phone from other agents. Put it on a contract and send it to me. My counter offer will be the same. Sure, it's a lot of back and forth with the paperwork but nothing else is legally binding.

That depends on the state. In my state if there is a proponderence of the evidence that a verbal contract exists that would negate the written than the new contract verbal or written would overrule the previous.

To the OP have a conversation, not an argument discussing what he previously said and record it. Again dependent on your state law as long as one party knows the conversation is being recorded it should be sufficient in court, especially civil court where a proponderence of the evidence is all that is needed.

My non full time team trains at least 20hrs a month (I think NTOA minimum is 16hrs). That's a lot of rounds. couple that with 2k round count schools and that gun has seen quite a bit bang time. I'd steer clear.
