That helps her case, but that's some scary-as-fuck news.
Imagine pointing an unusable gun at someone only to have them pull out a real one.
Seriously, I get her motivation for doing so, but damn, if I'm going to point a gun directly at someone, it's going to be 1) fully functional, 2) loaded, and 3) with all safeties off and a finger on the trigger.
Anything less is just begging for a fatality on the gun-holder's part.
Also: CLEAN YOUR FUCKING GUN BEFORE YOU SHOOT IT THE FIRST TIME. Factory lube is not meant for you to use when you shoot it. It's to protect the firearm from moisture
Yup. I also recommend getting a bore snake for the caliber gun you bought, they are great. Also Ballistol is good stuff, and some quality slide grease, a little bit goes a long way. Just those items, some patches, a couple rags, and a toothbrush are enough to maintain pretty much any firearm.
I bought two bottles of it, one aerosol and one a squirt bottle, and still have both. That was about 8 years ago! The aerosol is about gone though. I use it on other stuff too, works fantastic on hinges. Just a tiny bit is all you need.
I disassemble the thing completely when I get it home, then reassemble it. That way I can check for broken/missing parts, anything that may be 'off, and it gives me a warmer, fuzzier feeling when I do take it out back on the property to break it in.
I especially recommend this for used guns, because while you're in there you can clean out the years of gunk, look for cracks, etc. (especially for revolvers, because it seems like NOBODY ever cleans the internal mechanisms in those things!)
Also: be sure to reassemble your firearm to render it inoperable after an incident where no shots were fired, but before redcoats arrive to confiscate it.
I never bought a firearm that I didn't disassemble, clean and re-lube before I did anything else with it, as per manufacturer recommendations, but you already know that, being a firearms expert, right?
Yep, and still more reliable as far as reporting goes than our own. Though, it's not uncommon to see some mild stabs at propaganda on there. Usually pretty easy to spot because it comes in the form of "why are Americans always picking on us". It's no wonder we won the cold war.
Cant tell if you're serious. She said it was deliberately inoperable as it was a prop for their legal practice.

Not to mention a field strip is just a good thing to do to familiarize your self with the firearms mechanisms.

I only use ballistol on all my fire arms. If it’s good enough for hickock, it’s good enough for me. That shit lasts FOREVER. 1 bottle lasts years

I use it on EVERYTHING. I've never tried the aerosol version.

her gun was a prop from a trial, no firing pin. she didn’t put it back together wrong they knew it was inoperable
Came here to say this. It was intentionally inoperable

Dont forget to remove the fire control group and plug any unnecessary holes in your lower receiver to make it kid safe
LOL. You think they sell you inoperable firearms? And you have to re-assemble? I see you never bought a firearm.

You know RT is Russian Government 'news', yes?
