Grade-3 & higher guns with the skeleton butt cut-off for a butt ugly pad installation unless documented it was ordered with a pad.

Any metal refinishing where it's obvious the polishing was done on a buffing wheel. I.E. rounded edges, removed or over buffed lettering or engraving etc.

Loose ribs or ones that some Bodger attempted to fix with some type of gum-pucky from the local hardware store.

Guns with so much drop at heel that they make the gun look like a banana.

Buggered screws.

Poorly done re-case hardening resulting in gaudy case colors.

Heavy rust & pitting.

Oil-soaked wood.

This is only a partial list, but you probably get the idea.

Then my personal subjective one is barrels over 30" in length

Paul, tell us how you really feel!!
