[QUOTE="xsn10s, post: 2994380, member: 95344"] The $$$ risks and whether it's worth it is really up to you. A lot of it depends on a person's mechanical aptitude and being able to assess a firearm. So if you have a high level of proficiency you can assess the risks of a used firearms for a particular job vs the price. If you're buying online then you have to be able to assess the seller and the firearm. I've been pretty lucky buying used firearms with issues. One rifle had a pitted barrel which the seller was upfront with so I got a great price. Upon receiving the rifle I realized the stock was a McMillan stock and the rifle was equipped this way right from the the factory. I planned of rebarreling the rifle but it shot just fine. So it's in the same condition and was by go to rifle for many years. Still would be but I purchased a 7mm RM for longer range shots. [/QUOTE]
