    Every time you take out a gun to shoot you mark it in some tiny way nomatter how careful you are. I would imagine these small marks are what is known as "age related" as to bloody gert scratches and dings in the woodwork.

    This is how I would describe a used but taken care of gun.
    BUT if in doubt just dont buy. There's another one just round the corner. Possibly described as "mint" when the seller has no idea what mint means.
    choice is always yours!

    How would you describe your 30 year old guns?

    Maybe a more accurate description would be 'well used for 30 years' or 'rode hard and put away wet for 6 months'

    Lots of history - Dropped on rocks once a few years, and occasionally run over.

    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????
