Age related marks are really scratches from bushes when out hunting or the odd knock where you have put them in or taken them out of the cabinate for the several hundreth time over the years. The word mint is far more deceptive than the "age related marks" quote. Or would you rather then say bugger all and sell you a munter. Stop whining ffs i think the people who use it are being honest. Or you could just pass a possible good gun because you dont like the use of that quote????
