Recently I've been wanting to get a nice high quality .22 rifle and since I love lever rifles that means I need a model 39. But now I'm stuck in something of a dilemma. None of my local shops (gun or pawn) have any on the rack. Thus, my options are 1)Order a new one, 2)Online auction, 3)Wait for someone to put one up for sale on one of the forums, or 4)Wait and just keep cruising the local shops.
I've never bought a gun from an online auction because I like to hold something in my hand before I buy it. I'm always afraid I'll get something with the barrel shot out of it. But if that's the only way to get one then I'll bite the bullet. How worried should I be about buying a 30 or 40 year old lever rifle?
Any suggestions?
