Personally I won't buy online without the right to fire the gun during inspection. I have had too many problems with things such as chokes not being as advertised, poor barrel regulation, pierced primers, etc. Also, I have found that the dealers or individuals who will allow the firing inspections tend to be good old boys who want you to be happy with your purchase. So I just decided that those are the guys I want to do business with. If I talk to a seller who seems to be overly worried about someone screwing him over, I take my business elsewhere.
PS. I should mention I only buy shooters, not collector guns or high end stuff, so firing a couple factory rounds of acceptable pressure for the gun won't hurt the value. I would definatly understand a non firing inspection on the expensive guns.
