Now that I have spent more time with gun folks, its become obvious that a lot people build their collection through the purchase of used and consignment firearms. I was wondering what exactly do you look for when deciding on a purchase? What make one gun better than another in terms of worth (other than the obvious how it feels in your hand, etc).
I always see guys at the gun shows whipping out there little bore lights and "thoroughly" inspecting inside the gun. I always think to myself "does this guy even know what he is looking for". Its like the pervertible kicking of the tires. People do it and most probably don't even know why. Of course a new car is going to have fresh, properly inflated tires. What the heck does that tell you about the car? But digress... Are there sure fire things to look for when purchasing?
