Quote from a member on here with more experience than I: "For my money, the poorest value will always be the gun with "borderline" barrels".

And from my own experience: That gun with the borderline barrels can beguile you with its exceptional exterior high original condition, so that you dispense with measuring the minimum barrel wall thickness before buying it.

Late entry: I want to be clear: my buying that gun, being so beguiled; that is, having assumed that such a nice-appearing gun would have sound barrels, was a big mistake.
