Can lemons be avoided by careful shopping?
That’s what I wonder when I read some people's complaints of newly purchased guns.
Ever since I invented the internet (See, it wasn’t Gore), I’ve been reading frustrated and sometimes angry posts that go something like this:
I just bought a new Winnington 7000 and I get it home and I can’t even budge the safety…
Or My new KY Nurmgaard OSP has an awful trigger. Feels like there’s sand in it…
Or My new West-O-Matic’s barrel is canted 15 degrees to the left. Is it supposed to be?
Now, I’m not trying to defend the gun company’s QC records but I have to wonder if careful and knowledgeable inspection by the purchaser would catch some of these things before they cause buyer’s remorse.
What say you?
