Excellent question and thread. I am sure that most collectors (and shooters) have some kind of regular maintenance schedule for just these issues. It is good to point out, though, since whenever we are buying/appraising a pistol (for ourselves or others) the seller may not have noticed these things. I am sure there are the 'heirloom' pistols that have been in the closet for the last 30 years that have not seen the light of day. When buying from an unknown source you have to ask to take it down on the spot or you may regret it tremendously. What would you do if the seller at a gunshow said "No, I would prefer you didn't fool around with it". How would you react?
