How many times must we go down this road? This issue follows us every where we go.

If I was to buy that "collectable" NM Garandicon, I would want to know first if IT WILL FIRE AT ALL. If it won't, then DUH I want to get it fixed by the seller. How does he not know if it is filled with parts from China??!!?!?!

If I wanted to be strictly a "collector", I would invest in locks of hair from Elvis.

To simplify, I would be either shooting it BEFORE I buy it, or AFTER I buy it.
