This video provides two practical methods for assessing the quality of used firearms without specialized tools. The first tip emphasizes checking if all parts are original to the brand, as aftermarket modifications can be difficult to verify. The second tip focuses on estimating round count by examining barrel finish wear, with examples like the Glock 25 illustrating minimal wear on newer firearms. For AR-15s, it's recommended to prefer OEM builds over custom 'garage builds' and to inspect the bolt carrier group's interface with the hammer for signs of heavy use.

This video, featuring Kevin Michalowski from the U.S. Concealed Carry Association, demonstrates the utility of a Teslong digital borescope for inspecting firearms. It provides a close-up view of an 80-year-old Lee-Enfield rifle's barrel cleanliness, rifling condition, bolt face, and firing pin face. The presenter highlights how this tool can help owners assess firearm condition before purchasing, potentially saving a trip to a gunsmith, and is also applicable to handguns. The video explores the benefits and reasons for acquiring a digital borescope for home firearms maintenance and cleaning.

This video details how to inspect a side-by-side shotgun for a loose rib, a common issue that can lead to costly repairs.
