I've gotten some sweet guns used and some real junk, too. One of the more memorable ones was a 9mm Browning Hi-Power that Bubba had done a "trigger-job" on with blunt instruments. It looked pretty on the outside and the bore was nice, but every third shot or so the hammer would ride the slide forward and touch off a second shot. As in "BANG-BANG!" Downright scary.
Well if you got it cheap enough, that one would still be worth having a competent gunsmith fix it.
If you don't have one, now is the time to find one. Most Mom and Pop gun shops will likely know of one.
I know it sucks to have to spend more money on a gun that should have been working in the first place. But nice old classics, sometimes are worth it. Especially when the new guns look like they were assembled by inbreed monkeys. (Colt's new wheel guns. Marlin lever actions)
I need to send off a gun to be refinished. First handgun I ever bought. But the nickel is really pitted and the copper is 'greening' through.
