But, once suitably fettled, as Russ says, they are so sublime to shoot; quality barrels, triggers etc. And, despite these well documented issues, they never seem to fail to find buyers on the secondhand market. Many of the budget guns, as competent as they may be, won't be able to boast these credentials and do not seem to attract buyers easily, even when priced very cheaply. And I have spoken to a few RFDs in the past who, although seemingly more than willing to sell new Chinese guns refuse to take them in part exchange once the owner wants to upgrade.
