No, not at all. You may think the risk is acceptable, but not everyone is as smart as you.

Think of a car. Its been sitting in a barn for 20 years. Metal can rust, become pitted, and yes, even stainless steel can. Gun and cars are both made with metal, and require lubrication. I myself, not as smart as you, oh great one, wouldn't trust that everything is ok, and without being able to bore scope it, and take the rifle apart to inspect everything, probably with a reputable gun smith, yeah, I am taking a risk on it, so I am not going to offer top dollar on it. You, in your infinite wisdom might. I don't know. But you certainly make a lot of assumptions, and don't seem to take safety very seriously for someone "military trained". You rely on that excuse a lot, but we all know people that were #### in the military, you might be one of them. I don't know you except from your online persona here, and the same goes for you regarding me. so stop being an ass hat and giving bad advice.

So yes, I stand by my original assessment. I can't thoroughly verify the condition, and all the OP tells us is that its been sitting for 20 years. The risk involved diminishes the value. You don't agree with me, and that's fine, but quit trying to start ####. I get you like to be dramatic and start drama, I see that in a lot of your posts, and this isn't the first time you have tried to come after me, but if anyone is being dramatic here, it's you.

No I'm not starting sh!t, called education. Who is the one that got their panties in a twist and trying to start stuff? Who is being the azzhole actually? Did I personally insult you, did I bring up your job? No, I said you are over reacting in assuming the gun is rusted pos.. You are implying I was a #### soldier and personally insulting me. Seriously. You owe me an apology. I think you are cut off from the booze for the night.

So who coming after who? I just see you coming after me.

Don't need a bore scope to really inspect the bore. You'll be able to tell visually. I buy alot of guns that are older than you and sat for longer. Doesn't mean I dont do my due diligence. Fixed 130 year old 22LR, back when they used black powder. Had many pitted bore rifles. Manly 60 plus year old guns. A 20 year 10/22 likely is fine.

Safety? Ha you don't know me. Wear PPE and questionable guns get the string and rest method. But its 22LR.

A gun just because its not used in 20 years old doesnt mean it poorly maintained, a rusted pos, or being neglected. Like I said I got guns that have not used in 10 years, doesn't mean I dont once in a blue moon check on it. Who is assuming?


Oh BTW, I think I'm at owning over 300 firearms, soooooo.. I may know a thing or two more about used guns. I started my firearn career under 18 hanging out at old timer gunshops and learned a thing or two. I learned shooting from old bulleyes shooters.
