Thanks Replacement, you are right. As I said there is more to it than meets the eye and with limited space, (and time) can't go over everything.

Grogel, another thing I look for is the tightness of the gun. Check for loose wood with the gun closed and open. try wiggling the wood with hand and see if any play is evident. With the barrels open, wiggle the barrels in the same way. The gun should be tight and not move around.
