My budget requires me to buy on the lower end of things, but I have learned to look for consistency in the finish. Pictures can fool everyone, but did you notice that the front of the lower frame is a little scratched but the barrel in that area shows a clean surface. The 2â??s and 5 are different also. Albert taught me to look closely at the strawing, I donâ??t see the little lines that should be there, could be washout from the camera flash but those arenâ??t bad pictures.
The marks on the side of the barrel are typical of a barrel wrench that slipped slightly during installation.
Just the ramblings of a beginner, but purchase with your eyes wide open!
