Unclean guns

Dealers might be disinclined to clean their guns because it could reveal problems masked by the crud. I frequently see online descriptions like, "fair bore, should clean up better." The dirty gun has that "diamond in the rough" quality that can capture the imagination of the inexperienced buyer. On the other hand, there is nothing more delightful than excavating an old milsurp rifle from petrified cosmoline.
