So I had to kill some time today and where better than the local gun shop. I have been in the market for a new .22lr plinker. I started a poll on THR a while back and it was decided that the Mark II/III series were some of the best. Previously I had been anti- Mark II/III but I was open to suggestions. Well today I walk in and they have a BEAUTIFUL Mark II on the used rack. This gun is all stainless but very polished almost chrome looking with target rubber grips and a heavy barrel. Its certainly a looker.
But now I have a ton of questions that I need your help with.
1. I have never bought a used gun, I know the BASICS to look at like trigger feel, slide, and overall feel of the gun but I dont know any specifics. If it were a glock or such I would look at the top of the chamber for excessive wear but that does not work the same on a Mark II
2. The end of this gun had a barrel comp on it, it looked after market and removable, any thoughts on these? Positive or negative?
3. This gun seemed very heavy for a .22lr, again not a bad thing since this is a fun gun and not a CCW but just something I noticed. I will mention that the weight was very well balanced.
