Well, then, I recommend a cheapie.. This one could probably fire safely with a little work. This severely pitted example would still be a hit at the range, I'll bet--even if you used a can of Krylon to give it a finish.

Absorbing the info on the forum can be an economical alternative to the gold standard of acquiring good reference material, albeit not as organized or searchable. It would be like trickle charging a battery vs. buying a new one...
