Breaking new ground in gun grading..."Shows deep, original blue and appears new at arm's length."

That is a politically correct way of saying ''don't look too close''

It will also work if you close your eyes.

Breaking new ground in gun grading..."Shows deep, original blue and appears new at arm's length."

Seems reasonable to me! As a way of trying to describe fairly high cosmetic condition.



But, farther out on a long continuity - I have sometimes mused on how all sorts of places ought to rent 'Beer Goggles' to save people the trouble of having to be sloshed, for someone or something to look a lot 'better'.

They could even be prescribed by various Councilors or Therapists and so on...or be mandatory for various situations.

Lol...

Here is another one from them...(Non-Production correct)

Where do I get my Cabelas decoder ring?

 

[Cruiser RN]

You get the decoder ring right next to Marvin the Martian's "Mecunium 26 Space Modulator".....ROFLMAO...... Mike

Similar to the "twenty footer" description on the finish of a used car.

 

[what would you say]

So, for a big guy with a long arm.. It's 99 percent blue conditionShort guy-short arm- it's closer up and 97 percent.

I have to hold a magazine out really far to read it, so maybe Cabela's is marketing to customers like me.

I was in Cabelas this afternoon looking at a nice SAA when I hold it out at arms length and talking out loud said to myself that's about 98% bluing, a young fellow hears me and says do you mind if I hold it, I replied , be my guest, well low and behold after holding it out, BTW he was a tall fellow, he announces nope its about 96%, well I proceed to tell him that I might be wearing coke bottle thick glasses but I know 98 when I see it , it was then we got into one heck of an argument. All was settled when a midget walked up asked to see the gun, held it out and said youre both wrong its 91% and has a .00025 deep dent in the extractor spring.

Looks good from my house.............

Only had 50 rounds through it (on weekdays and a 1000 rounds during weekends). LOL

Breaking new ground in gun grading..."Shows deep, original blue and appears new at arm's length."

I think that means I'm supposed to examine it without using my reading glasses.
Pass.

When you hire 7 dollar an hour help off the street to describe and price collector type firearms out of a blue book your going to get lots of wrong answers and bad descriptions,, mixed in with a few bargains.
