I hope to be in the market for a .357 carbine soon. I am reloading for my GP100 and a lever action carbine seems like a great companion gun. I am looking at the used market which begs the question, "How do I buy a GOOD one?"
I am good with my hands and will have it apart and back together several times, but I have no Idea what types of problems I should be on the lookout for. Would some of you long time shooters be able to enlighten me?
