I'm not trying to steer you away from buying a nice gun. You don't need to actually fire it with live ammo to see if the SST functions properly.

Remove the barrels and center the release lever. Put a finger over both of the pin holes in the breech face and pull the trigger then pull it again. Yup it stings but it won't break the skin and it's a quick and easy way to test it.

Its not you steering me away. I'm not certain its a nice gun. The barrels have been reblued, the screws aren't timed properly, and the stock may have had some coats of oil applied over time. Also, its choked strange at F/IC. It just doesn't smell right, and its not a steal either.
