Ever had a buyer want to test it out?

[lpgasman]

Hell no
any gun shops let you do that?
hell no

The rule is a 3 day non-shooting inspection on a mail buy and in a FTF it's inspection.

If you misrepresent, well it's your reputation.

millions of people buy and sell without a firing period and very few problems.

Hell no.

The shootist will let you test the used pistols, but the ammo cost is on you.

that's because their range ventilation is SOOOOOO fucking horrible you will pass out and they will run your card to the max and take all the cash out of your wallet!

I want to test fire BlasterBob's mortar. Wonder if he would bring it to the house so I can run a few balls through it.

Never had that question asked.

.

Sure, you are welcome to make the road trip
down to Trinidad and take a couple shots with my mortar. Your being willing to drive all the way down here kinda implies that you are seriously interested in buying my mortar at my listed price. .
A few years ago, I handed some brand new, in the boxes, firearms to a gun shop on a consignment. Told the shop owner/operator that I am EXTREMELY particular about my firearms so be damn careful to make certain they do NOT get scratched, dropped or screwed around with. He assured me that if they didn't sell, I'd get them back exactly like the day I delivered to him. Long story short, two of them were let out for a trial and potential buyers decided not to buy them. These WERE new in the boxes and suddenly developed some serious "handling marks". Kinda lost my trust in that shop!

Anyone is welcome to shoot anything I have for sale. I only have a couple of rules.

One, the time and place have to be convenient for me, not you.

and

Two, every round fired is on your dime.

I don't care if you want to shoot ten rounds or a hundred. If you don't like it, I'll take it home, clean it up, update the ad to reflect the new round count, and move on.

Knew there was a reason I liked ya.

I will add that on some (like I posted earlier) Guns a quick 5 shot trip is almost mandatory. My beloved Fal comes to mind. Some shoot and some do not. And there is not a thing a normal gunsmith can do to make it better.

Not someone from armslist, unless it was at a public indoor range.

that shop would be buying my guns at my asking price

Good point. I guess I should have clarified my post. Anyone from here who seems pretty normal and safe is welcome to "test fire" my stuff.

I like the making him buy ammo and going to cherry creek or blue core idea. If they are far away You could take a decent youtube video of the rifle you are selling...I did that once.

I had a shotgun that a potential buyer wanted to try out. We met at Pawnee Sportsmen's range. He brought the specified AA target rounds, paid for a round of Trap for both of us and after we were finished he bought the gun. Then he bought us another round of Trap.

I would say that you should go to a actual range, not out in the country.
