Many years ago I sold a very tired Fox 20 A grade. In less than a year the same dealer had it for sale with everything in factory fresh, screws un-turned order. I decided not to trust that dealer to tell me if water was wet. I offered him photos of before the miracle because I think he forgot I was the one that sold him the gun in the first place. He simply hung up. Back then there was no internet to post warnings to others.
Every gun I own is going to be shot if it is safe to do it. I hunt with a 42 pigeon grade and a 42 high grade. Every double, pump, O/U or semi auto I own is there to be shot by me or anyone who ask me to use them. I do take care of my guns but they are guns not idol to worship.
