It just occurred to me that the $1700 J&G might be a blem model. The one review on the page mentions a damaged barrel bushing and that the manufacturer "blew him off". Which sounds like bullshit unless he bought a blem in which case it would be J&G's problem for not telling the customer if it was in fact a blem.
Blem models should be marked on the receiver as well as include documentation describing the blem. Although in the past one or the other may not have been followed. I do know for a fact that DW wouldn't blow anyone off for something clearly broken...maybe the guy tried to contact CZ instead of DW?
Anyway, OP, if you haven't yet but plan to buy that V-Bob from J&G, it would probably behoove you to inquire as to whether it's a blem or not. The post directly above this one further fuels my suspicions on the matter.
