You were happy, because you could pretend you were Jimi or Paul or Jimmy, and the guy who bought your perfectly good former guitar at a huge savings was even happier. And the same principle holds true in the wonderful world of rifles. There are some great bargains out there, and they are called used guns. Here's a brief look at how to get a good one. It's natural to think that people trade in rifles because there is something wrong with them.
Owner falls for ad copy, buys gun, shoots it once, trades it in for something that kicks less.
Husband and wife go to court. Judge hears both sides. Gun collection goes to pay settlement. Gun owner takes dirt nap. Kids not interested in guns, so they go on sale.
