Gun Shop Inspection Etiquette...

Watch some youtubes on taking lugers apart

If its me, I ask, can I take it apart, I tell them I am a collector and can take it apart AND put it back together, which is their fear.

If you are not familiar or they say no, you ask if they will take it down. If they ask "why, all the numbers match"

Then you can say; the interior parts, trigger, hold open, firing pin, rear toggle pin, grips numbered (not always) - are all numbered (if military or police - most of the time) and I just can't spend that much without knowing if matching.

Many shops won't want you to take a gun apart, due to the fear stated above that you will screw something up...
