Thread: low mileage guns for sale

I often wonder what's up with a lot of guns that come up for sale that the owner says has only fired 15 to 20 rounds then they are up for sale

Change in circumstances maybe? Being fed a load of bullshit by a salesman and walking out with a gun completely unsuitable for its intended purpose would feature highly I imagine.

There are plenty of people who wouldn't get through a packet on ammo a year.
Sight in 10rnds, annual hunting trip 2rnds, 3 years later your still looking at a only a packet worths of use.

Gun fiends buy shit, finger bang it for a while, see something else they want more and flick it to pay for other projects.

Only fired 25 rounds and further down it says comes with 1500 brass......

As long as firearms being sold on here are not sold because they are a lemon I don't ponder it too much.

As Azumith says circumstances change for people.

I have pondered this many a time as well. I don't know about anybody else but whenever I buy a new gun the first trip I take to the range results in at least 100 rounds being fired down range. After that it's usually a good 20 or so (unless it's my SKS in which it's more like 80) if it's a big calibre, 200 or more if it's the .22. Granted I only go to the range about once every 2 months because it's a 40 minute drive there but even still. What's the point in having in there if you don't use it? Also if I haven't shot it in 6 months and I'm about to go on a hunt you bet your hiney I'm going to the range to check the zero and familarise myself with the thing again.

Maybe I'm just odd like that though.

I'm with northudude on this, the number of guns 'only sighted in' or 'just 20 rounds', it's always good for a giggle to read.

I have a few guns I've put a handful of rounds through and never fired again.

Me to , didn't like them, sold.

I have a 2 year old shotgun, only fired 30 ................... slabs of ammo
My 6.5 TCU has fired nearly 700 in just over or under 12 months.
But my AR has not fired a shot in nearly 3 years

yes and they all shoot MOA, I often wonder if you put their owners on the spot if they actually could demonstrate that (and repeatedly)

Exactly, the guns I like I shoot a shit ton through. The ones I don't I don't.

It could be a case like mine with my .284. Had it built up. Nice to shoot, Shoots inch groups at 200 yards, Pole axes animals. But after reading lots of Internet articles I ha convinced myself there is another gun that will be better. So I might put mine on trade me to fund another gun and mines probably fired less than 50 rounds.

Hell, I even have a rifle in my safe that's fired a total of three rounds and none by me.
