It never ceases to amaze me the number of people who put used weapons up for sale can't seem to be bothered to clean it. Recently I purchased a used CZ 75 from a local GS. It was in good shape other than some scratches in the bluing around the slide lock lever; it looked like he'd used a flat-blade screwdriver.
Anyway, I disassembled it as I do with every other purchase I have made and the thing was filthy with GSR. The barrel looked clean but the frame, spring and slide were disgusting, as if the original owner had fired it, didn't like it and traded it off. I've noticed this same phenomena at gun shows with sellers offering weapons for premium used prices but the bores are sewer pipes. Sure a little scrubbing can correct it but...c'mon...have you no pride?
