Anybody know how many rounds are fired by the manufacturer before shipping their new guns? Does it vary?
I don't buy a lot of new wheelguns, but I did recently get a Ruger New Blackhawk. By all appearances it had been fired only one time.
And there's a reason I'm asking. I'm looking at a used Vaquero, and the gun shop that has it claims it is unfired (except for the factory test fire). It is obvious that it has been fired at least six times, as the cylinder has the carbon residue showing around each individual cartridge's well.
Thanks!
