Umm...yeah it is. I'm not a grammar/punctuation Nazi but there's a bunch of fragmented words and periods coming out of the middle of nowhere. Sorry....don't understand what you're asking.

Drunken posting perhaps?

Most firearms will last a life time with proper maintainance. It's rare for a hand gun or rifle to come out of the box with a problem, although it dose happen. I have purchased a few firearms from fellow calgunners and never had a problem.

whether you intentionally or accidentally meant to leave out the "to" between trying and say, i found it hilarious and appropriate.

and *whew* i thought the same thing.

Hmmmm...last couple i bought had 3000 something, 1200 or so, 4000 approx and 12,000 to 14,000 rds thru them by the prevoius owners. Plus they run flawlessly.

Maybe you're looking at the wrong kinds of guns. By that i mean the types of guns people shoot a few times and decide they are crap before moving on to a better gun

Okay, I am new here. Do I need a decoder ring? where do I get one. What boxes of ammo do they come free in? I even speak OC and don't quite get the question.

I just recently traded away a handgun and freely admitted that it had problems with fte's.

[jackandblood]

I find the never FTE thing suspect. esp for first owner of a brand new.

The only gun I have ever had ANY problems with was, and are .22's

Let me answer the question to a already answered question, If you see a post that says only 200/300 rounds through it, It means the gun was only fired about 200 to 300 times. To make it more clear, a bullet went into the gun and the trigger was pulled, this happened 300 times.

FTF means failure to fire either from a light pin strike or other reasons.

FTE mean failure to eject the spent casing

Most quality fire arms will not have a problem with these two issues within the first 10k to 15k rounds.

Not all post have low round counts, i purchased a ruger with 1500+ round count and a glock with 1500+ round count. But take in consideration that guns being sold is mostly due to the fact that the owner does not use them. So you'll see allot of guns with low round counts on sale.

All the guns i purchased that say only 50 rounds down pipe or some low round count are usually in brand new condition, and haven't even been broken in.

So why only 200 300? i have answered your question sir.
