Wondering if anybody here ever bought a malfunctioning unit? Whether new or used?

I picked up a used Sledgefire on Kijiji a few days ago for $15. Seller claimed it was just barely used. It only fired about 66-75% (on average) of the range of the other Sledgefire I bought new from TRU. I decided to go with it because it was so cheap and I was sure to get either decent improvements or spare parts.

I opened it up and tried to compress the spring via 8 mm of added hot glue on the plunger rod, and also added a layer of Teflon tape beneath the O-ring, but that didn't change things much. I didn't want to remove the air restrictors because some people on YouTube said that was of doubtful benefit... So the only "good" thing I got out of it was hands-on experience with the innards and making the stock detachable.
