During our inspection, we pay close attention to the make, model, and caliber of firearms in addition to the overall condition, authenticity, and mechanical status. We thoroughly examine:
- Excessive Use – We examine the firearm for excessive use, stress cracks, dirt and more.
- General Wear and Tear – We examine the mechanics of the firearm for general wear and tear, and worn-down parts, as these are generally an indication that internal damage may be present.
- Rust and Corrosion – We examine the entire firearm for any signs of rust and corrosion.
- The Muzzle – We examine the muzzle of the firearm to assure it can be properly fired. We even take every used firearm out to our range and test it before selling it to a customer.
- The Barrel – We break down each firearm and examine the barrel to look for damage.
- Safe Handling – We inspect every firearm for signs of misuse or indications that the firearm may not be safe to operate.
- Mechanical Operation – We examine the action, trigger, firing pin, and any other mechanical parts of the firearm.
- Hardware – We examine the hardware on your firearm to assure everything is properly attached and useable.
- Accessories – Any accessories, including optics, sights, holsters, grips, and magazines that come with the firearm are also inspected thoroughly.
- Accuracy – We test sights and other components of the firearm for accuracy and safe use.
- Clean and Lube – Our team cleans and lubricates all certified pre-owned firearms to provide you with the best condition possible.
- Test Fire – Each firearm is fired on the range to test for operations, performance, and accuracy
