Sample text
A quarter-sawn piece of wood, full of flame shapes and “fiddle forms” is pleasing to the eye, but a plain, straight-grained piece of wood is less subject to warping. Some woods are denser than others, close grained with a greater weight. Heft the rifle and the same model next to it to check for the weight and balance that best suites you. As for the quality of the wood, that is a matter of aesthetics. Check for file and other exterior tool marks, damaged screw heads, and sloppily applied wood finishes.
A damaged muzzle can be re-crowned to restore accuracy, but only by someone who knows how. Internal damage, by rough use of a cleaning rod, is permanent. Rifles can be re-barreled or “set back” — the barrel shortened at the breech and a new chamber cut, forward of the worn area. About the only rifle worth this expense is a high-quality target/varmint rifle with everything else in perfect shape. Both operations are gunsmith jobs costing into the hundreds of dollars. The seller’s price should reflect such a condition.
Do they lock up completely, with a crisp snap? Cock that rifle, squeeze the trigger. Is the trigger heavy, creepy, gritty, in the release of the sear? Is it uneven from one trial to the next? New guns will all have some stiffness, and need a break-in. Clean and crisp is best — like the snapping of a thin glass rod — is the old shooters’ saying. This is what you can expect on a fine target rifle or top-quality varmint gun. Expect to pay for it. Check the safety to see if it works. Flip it on an off, pulling the trigger of the cocked rifle to be sure it works.
