Henry N, who I have dealt with many times ,has the common sence ( and doesn't sell fire arms) needless to say, taking literally less than 60 seconds to run 3 or 4 snap caps through a rifle while trying the safety and putting a screw driver to one or two stock screws is litteraly very little to ask or expect to save both seller and buyer alot of possible grief, dont you think? I build engines for a living, I dont assemble them then ship them off with out making sure they run properly! Henry's personality reference is applies and oranges.
