Unclean guns

I think folks put it away and then when its time to sell, they sell it and don't clean ahead of time. I usually swab the bore and wipe it down before I am going to sell it.

That said, I have met many collectors whose thoughts of 'cleaning' it, is complete tear down and cleaning every nook and cranny, even had forum members tell me they take the sear safetys off, safety lever, take the toggle apart, etc.

Thats over the top in my eyes....

And what is dirty to you, may not be to Bob. Whats clean to me, might not be to Bob....
