HUMOR: rating system
 

I've been looking at gunsamerica.com a lot in recent weeks and finally have a feel for the rating system used by sellers there (in general). Here's how it breaks down...

100% â?? It looks kinda new, therefore it is.
98% â?? Half the bluing is gone, the other half is pitted. The barrel is not pitted too badly.
90% â?? A complete reblue, and a bad job of it. Edges ground round. The barrel is badly pitted and a social security number has been scratched into the body and slide.
80% â?? No blue at all, pitting everywhere, a smoothbore, some parts missing, not safe to fire.
70% â?? There is no 70%. Everything is 80% and above.
