This is a topic that often amazes me. I called a gun shop to ask about surplus rifles and they had gotten in a few. I asked about the condition and was told all were "about 80 percent guns." I went to the shop and saw the rifles and was disappointed. At best, they were NRA good and showed signs of serious rusting and were really dinged up. The rifles are still sitting on the used gun racks. Not sure what they meant by 80 percent guns.
It would be helpful if folks used the NRA grading system for firearms. The NRA has established standards they we can understand and agree mean certain things. I have attached a link that might be helpful. Take care...
