ya gotta be quick and pay attention...see quote belowWell? Did he buy it?
Frank
first, it was no one from nes, it's not listed here. he may be a member though but we never talked about it. he shot 2 mags and had to go home "and think about it." so no, he didn't buy it.
Hah! I read the first two sentences of that post but not the rest of it. I have a very short attention span.ya gotta be quick and pay attention...see quote below
You guys ruin it.
And how do you know it is factory?One magazine of factory ammo provided by him to make sure everything works like it's supposed to.
You really want to punish someone that badly?Ask him to go down to Four Seasons Firearms and ask them if he can test fire any of their new and used guns for sale. See what they say.
And once again, it’s Rob, for the win.All is fair as long as both parties understand the term before either party wastes any time traveling to the meet up.
Haha, genius idea to fight fire with fire so to speak.At that ridiculous request, you start raising the price, or charging him a gun rental fee. That's obnoxious.
Did you ask for a discount because the gun was not cleaned when you bought it?We strolled over to the shooting bench, and I proceeded to shoot at some steel. When the mag was empty, he put the other three mags down and said told me to fire at some of the steel further out. Ding, ding, ding... I'm ringing steel at 50, 75 yards, big ole grin on my face.
Are you willing to confirm some typical stereo types I have in my head for this guy?first, it was no one from nes, it's not listed here. he may be a member though but we never talked about it. he shot 2 mags and had to go home "and think about it." so no, he didn't buy it.
i'm laughing, it's some of the same people who scream "out them" when someone posts about a rouge shop now calling to know what the gun is. you are a curious bunch...stay curious a bit longer.
I bought a gun from an NES'r and we met at his range and used the club's wifi to do the transfer and he asked if I wanted to shoot it.
I said, "Nah, the gun shoots, right?" and he said, " I wanted you to check out the trigger and other stuff done by Santurri"
I said "Actually, that sounds kind of cool." and he put a box of 45 acp on the picnic table we were sitting at. The gun came with 4 mags and while he was telling me about the work that was done, he loaded up all four. Then he showed me the original fiber optic sights, springs, and extractor that he was including in the purchase price.

It was a sunny Saturday in the summer and there were lots of people around. If memory serves it was at Reading, and I was tickled pink.
We went into the club house and completed the transfer. I had his cash in an envelope and when he counted it I reached in my pocket and added another $25 for the box of ammo. He tried to refuse, but I insisted.
The point is, he went way over and above as a seller, and I truly was appreciative, but there is no way I would have asked him to shoot it.
Depends on what you mean by "inspected" -Guns can be adequately inspected without firing. That plus your good feedback should be enough assurance.
When I was in my late teens, I seldomed a shop that allowed people to test fire used handguns and, I think, some samples of new guns, at their range. I used the place for rifle and shotgun practice on their free range behind the shop, and my first handgunning experience was when someone else was interested in one of the guns I had with me. I offered to let him try it out, and he handed me a box of ammo and a Charter Arms 38. Of course, being 16, I would never admit to not knowing anything about handguns, but I did have the "muzzle in a safe direction" part down so I figured it out.Ask him to go down to Four Seasons Firearms and ask them if he can test fire any of their new and used guns for sale. See what they say.
