There are certain steps a prospective gun buyer needs to go through in order
to be validated in himself and feel secure in his purchase. Though they don't
have to be done in the order listed, every prospective buyer should do the
following:
1-Go buy a gun - any gun
2 -After bringing it home, post on the Internet about your purchase and ask
"Did I get a good deal?"
3 - Listen to the advice of dozens of people who you have never met and who
you know nothing about as to whether you made the right purchase or not.
4 - Post questions on the Internet as to potential problems with the gun that
you have already bought.
5 -Listen to the advice of dozens of people who you have never met and who you
know nothing about.
6 -Tear the gun completely apart and search for potential problems.
7 - Post questions on the Internet as to what to look for.
8 -Listen to the advice of dozens of people who you have never met and who you
know nothing about.
9 - Post questions on the Internet as to what would make it more accurate
before you have even fired a shot with it.
10 - Listen to the advice of dozens of people who you have never met and who
you know nothing about.
11 - Modify the gun as much as possible to make it more accurate before you
even shoot it.
12 - Post a questions asking how hot you can load the gun before blowing it
up.
13 -Listen to the advice of dozens of people who you have never met and who
you know nothing about.
More Advice
1 - Don't read gun magazines. Writers are paid very well to lie to you. Always
ask your questions on the internet where someone you do not know will always
tell you the truth for free.
2- Don't read reloading manuals. What do those guys know with all their
pressure testing data? Instead rely on someone you do not know to give you
real loads over the internet.
3 - Never break-in a new gun by shooting it. Someone who you do not know will
tell you the right way, over the internet, to break in a gun.
4 - You may not want to buy a new gun at all since on the internet someone you
do not know is willing to tell you that everything made by (insert any company
name here) is junk.
5 -After buying a new gun and before shooting it always ask on the internet
"What is the most accurate load for my gun?" This is a sure sign to
others on the net that you are very experienced in shooting and reloading.
6 - Never believe the recommendations of ammunition companies as to what guns
their loads can be used in. What do they know? They only developed the load.
Instead rely on someone who you do not know and who you know nothing about to
give you, on the internet, the real skinny on successfully using Heavy Duty
Plus + loads in Italian replicas.
Yet More Advice
Send an email to a popular firearms website asking when your gun was made and
how many did they make and how many will they make and "...should I not
shoot it to make it more valuable?" Five minutes later send another email
asking why no one has answered the first email!
