Ever had a buyer want to test it out?

[Eggysrun]

This is a first for me, so a guy wanting to buy my gun (on armslist) asked me if we could go out somewhere to shoot it so he can verify it functions. Don't get me wrong I understand people being cautious buyers, but my AK has less than 100 rounds down the pipe and AK's are some of the most reliable weapons on the planet.

I personally don't feel comfortable handing a loaded weapon to a potential "buyer" who I don't know even if I armed myself and it's kinda insulting to the seller assuming I'd sell them something that doesn't work.

Wondering what peoples thoughts are on this. He doesn't seem like a bad guy, I've sold about 10 guns and this is a 1st for me.

In the case of some guns very much so. I have even taken a buyer out to the range just so there was no question down the line.

There are some guns I would want to test before I bought as well.

Have him buy your ammo of choice, and pay the range fee at Blue Core or Cherry Creek, this will weed out potential freaks.
And don't let him shoot reloads or home rolled rounds.

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.

I dont find it unreasonable at all after all if I was selling you a car I would let you test drive it.

Also limit the rounds fired. 5-10 is more than sufficiant. And sights are a personal thing, show him it hits where aimed, don't let him talk you down because he can't hit crap, and be firm on your price because of all the hassle you went through to meet him at a range.

Wait for the next guy.

Easy...YOU shoot the gun to show him it works. Don't hand him the loaded gun.

I always tell some one if they wanna meet at the range and shoot it first im totaly good with that. Puts every ones mind to rest, save you any issues down the road.

Yeah, I'll offer to meet at a range, at their expense, limited firing rounds of my choice. I have no problem with it.
