Personally, I'm about done buying new guns. Guns on my 'hope to buy' list aren't made anymore, so that means used.
There's no guarantee that the "new" gun you buy isn't going to turn out to be a lemon or a turkey, either.
I think a perfect example is the new remington R51.
Again, if you use common sense when purchasing a used gun, you are unlikely to get burned.
Used guns are GREAT, BUT...
you must detail them as previous owner(s) had no idea of what cleaning entailed or bother to attempt it.
Detailing makes certain that every part is in good condition and is properly
lubed and light stoning has reduced / eliminated burrs.
