I have a favorite gun store in the city, and every time I go in there I handle as many of their guns as I have time for... and the "boys" behind the counter are super helpful and happy to have me try the triggers, or bolts or anything else. They seem to get a big kick out of the old lady who comes to play with all the guns. LOL And I've never even bought a gun there, just ammo and accessories on occasion. <br /><br />I do take all of my visitors there, if possible, and we all get an opportunity to handle the guns.MamaLibertyhttp://www.thepriceofliberty.orgnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8988046816576439468.post-43948534724968824172014-06-18T15:27:17.304-07:002014-06-18T15:27:17.304-07:00Maybe you're right, Joel, about the "it&#...Maybe you're right, Joel, about the "it's no longer new" idea. That's an Occam-friendly explanation, at least.<br /><br />I suspect, too, you may have a similar background to mine, in regarding the classic "poor man's trigger job"--wherein you take any new (centerfire) piece, liberally apply an appropriate lube to the moving parts, and dry snap it about a thousand times, usually within an hour of getting home. :-)<br /><br />I've not seen a piece yet that doesn't smooth up and improve with this treatment...and of course then you can understand what the true need for further work might be.Kevin Wilmethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18368887768008126052noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8988046816576439468.post-51199993164640382312014-06-18T05:37:36.460-07:002014-06-18T05:37:36.460-07:00I can kind of understand a refusal to allow dry-fi...I can kind of understand a refusal to allow dry-firing a gun right out of the display case. I don't agree, but I understand (what I take to be) the reasoning. Which would be, "we're selling new guns. If it's got use-marks of any kind, then it's not new anymore."<br /><br />Of course before I can get excited about buying any gun, one question that must be answered is "how's the trigger?" If you're not willing to let me answer that question - in a way that, as you point out, can't possibly hurt the gun - then the voices will start telling me you're trying to hide something and I'll lose interest.Joelhttp://joelsgulch.comnoreply@blogger.com
