I pawned my .44 in July. SS S&W Mountain Gun.
Before I took it to the pawn shop, I cleaned it up real good and made sure to get all the nooks and crannies.
I picked it up yesterday and I know it was feeling neglected being away from it's friends the past couple of months, so I decided to give another cleaning.
I didn't figure it would be too bad since it hasn't been fired since the last time it was cleaned in July.
The barrel was clean, but there was powder residue on the front and rear of the cylinder, powder residue under the hammer, and black dirt(maybe residue) on and around the trigger.
There wasn't a spec of dirt on it when I pawned it, do you think they took it out and played with it? I can't prove it even if they did, but that doesn't make it right.
Your thoughts?
