i got my used. i am sure it has seen about 2 to 3 thousands before i bought it. everything is as good as new. i put a few thousands rounds through it myself. i take good care of my guns with tetra grease, hoppe #9, mobil 1 synthetic, and some free sample of militec-1.
i just need a part kit for spare since i actually like to keep this gun for a very long time. i am sure the damn ban will expire and the moment it does, i'll put a folder on it. i want to have spare parts just because i know there will be stricter law a year or so after the brady bunch expiration. i have seen the proposal for the new ban law, and it does not look pretty. part kits will require background check too. in addition, backdoor background check would be set in place, so anyone buying a kit will be check if they actually own a gun or not. criminal charges will be handed out to folks buying part kits without the history of owning the gun. it is draconianism if you ask me.
i returned the kit already. they gave me the shipping cost back too. i only lost 9 bucks of shipping it back to them. they do stand by their product. it is just too bad that they falsely advertise their product. my gun is 1994 and it still look much better than that part kit. i wonder how i can check when the gun is made. i know it is 1994 because of the year on it, but i want to know what month. i may have a pre-ban in hand without knowing. i want a folder on it since i saw one costing past 2000 bucks with a folder. i am american and i think i should be able to do whatever i want to something i bought with my hard-earned moeney; especially when i paid the damn tax on that purchase. i am telling you; we should not have to pay for gun purchase tax since it is taxation without representation.
