Take it out and shoot a few boxes of shells through it. If it works fine, then you got a good deal. I think with the Dalys, it is kind of hit or miss. Most are good, reliable guns, but some bad ones sneak through. I know a couple of people with them that have had no problems, but I have read some bad reviews on this and other boards. If you do have problems, the Dalys have a good warranty but sometimes slow service. Good luck and have fun.
