When you're looking at used firearms what, short of breaking it down on the counter, is the best way to inspect the bore? I want to prop a flashlight in the receiver and look down from the muzzle but done want the funstore guy to think I'm a moron, etc.
>Pic unrelated.
He'll think you're a moron if you buy it without looking at it. There is absolutely nothing wrong with confirming the rifle is clear and then looking through it. After you confirm it is clear you're just looking down a pipe with swirls in it.

Dude people at a gun store should expect that. One time I was inspecting a used revolver and the guy behind the counter gave me a better flashlight than the one I was using.

>caring what people you give money to think
dude, I bring this to every gun show and with me when i'm looking at used firearms. you dont need to field strip it, just work the action and shove a flash light down there.

I'm not sure how many times it has to be explained to the

crowd but simply clear the gun, don't take your eyes off of it to make sure no sneaky bullets jump in the gun real quick and look down the barrel to inspect the quality of the rifling. The funstore clerk will probably even give you a fancy flashlight when he sees you don't have your own

You do realize basically every gun store, pawn shop that sells guns, etc. have bore lights that they'll let you use for this exact purpose, right?

Old school method: stick your thumb in the breech so that the ambient light reflects off of your thumbnail, illuminating the bore while you look down the muzzle.

Seriously, I break it down on the counter. I don't give a flying fuck what the counter clerk thinks.
One time, as I started to break down a pistol, they asked me not to. I stopped, reassembled, handed it to the man, and walked out without saying a word.
They haven't asked me not to inspect my potential purchases since then.
I take shit apart in the fun store all the time, even when I'm not buying anything.
Of course it probably helps that I've spent like 2-3 thousand in that store
