Mike....I am quite certain that to the seasoned shooter/hunter/collector your response is a great one....but to a novice like myself....WAY MORE than I needed or wanted to know....
Once again....I am a COMPLETE NOVICE when it comes to my firearms and ALL I WANTED TO KNOW WAS what information I might need to present to a prospective buyer....say in an AD in the buyer's forum! Most of your post (Mike) expounds on what I would expect any buyer to run through (to the best of their ability) while examining any possible purchase.
So please let me re-phrase my question:
What basic information would you like to see in ANY AD for a firearm for sale?
