newb here... when to seek a gunsmith?

[Korbin]

I recently bought a mosin nagant from a local gun shop that also provides gunsmith services.

Before I shoot the gun I want to make doubley sure there is nothing wrong with it. I'm new to guns so I don't feel like I know enough to determine if there's anything wrong with it.

Would it be overkill to take it to a different gunsmith to give it a "once-over" prior to shooting it for the first time? Should I just trust that the shop I bought it from deemed it safe?

or should I stop worrying and just shoot the darn thing?

Thanks for your input.

call the shop and make sure they looked it over before selling it to you. if they did and its ok then go ahead and shoot it.

I'll do that. I realized as I was typing that I never asked if they inspected all of their mosins.

Thanks
