I'd probably offer $650 or $700 on the $1000 rifle and see where it lands. If I really wanted the rifle, I probably wouldn't go higher than $800, but would aim to land closer to $750 (25% off retail%).Maybe I'm not the norm, but I would offer the 1k guy 900 or 850 for the rifle. See what he says. Get a feel for how used it is, etc.
It may be 1k new, but after tax it is 1100. So if I can get a lightly used working gun for around 20 percent off new, I'm going for it.
Many warranties are transferrable, but I'm with you - I've only bought one used firearm ever.I'm wondering how a warranty will work if you buy used?
That's the main reason I usually buy new.
The last two new handguns I picked up @ Apocalypse Sports on a 4473 DID NOT have any sort a seal on the box. A Taurus and a S&W. I don't recall ever seeing a seal on a new handgun box, least that I can remember.My general rule of thumb is, if the seal on the box is open, the gun is used.

There is no such thing as a sealed gun box purchase from a FFL. To say that is absurd.My general rule of thumb is, if the seal on the box is open, the gun is used. Even when someone swears it’s never been fired and wants the new price less taxes, I can generally find it cheaper or the same price new. I understand that there may be a few folks out there who would prefer to buy from a private owner and skip the background check, but that’s not a selling point for me. Only incentive to buying a used gun is the lower price or if there are no more on the shelf and no hope of finding one new.
I can only recall Glock having a paper sticker that covers the upper and lower half of the box and has to be cut.The last two new handguns I picked up @ Apocalypse Sports on a 4473 DID NOT have any sort a seal on the box.

That it so goofy, they don't trust the SN on the outside of the box. They always read it off the firearm (open the box). I'm sure the suppliers who ship it do the same.
I’m sure a few would love to vote to ban me!!!! lolBigchillin83 hasn't shown up yet and he isn't responding to the remote viewer or the psychic. What should I do?
There he is !I’m sure a few would love to vote to ban me!!!! lol
I'm saying its goofy about a sealed box. They always read SN off the firearm, as I stated above. Sometimes I wonder about ole Mag.I can only recall Glock having a paper sticker that covers the upper and lower half of the box and has to be cut.
Are you saying its goofy they open the box and check the gun and dont trust the sticker ? I couldnt read how you were saying it.
Thankfully only a few people have votes that matter, so I think you're goodI’m sure a few would love to vote to ban me!!!! lol
New rule: Put a piece of packaging tape over the opening and whistle to remain calm! There it's sealed!I'm saying its goofy about a sealed box. They always read SN off the firearm, as I stated above. Sometimes I wonder about ole Mag.
