I have a High tech question

[ItBeMe]

Sometimes these Goobers post a gun For Seal and they tell about all the great crap about it and than they say
No smileys on the barrel. What the H is a smiley Can someone post a picture of a smiley so I will know what they
look like. So just how bad does a smiley on a gun make it. Do you tell the guy to knock a $50 off for every smiley
I see. Someone please fill me in on this happy face stuff.

A smiley is a wear mark on the barrel, near the muzzle, caused by the slide rubbing on the barrel. It can be an indication of how much a gun has been used but it's not always a good one.

It's just one of many indications of wear/use. Kind of like saying low mileage/no smiley.

Ok thanks. But I think you have to on a crap load drugs to see a smiley,

I don't really care about a smiley

My FNX tactical(before I lost her in a boating accident) had barrel chatter straight from the factory

I agree with you on this. I don't give a damn about a "smiley", at least I know the gun has functioned for its intended purpose. Hell it's a tool, nothing more. The only exceptions I could think of is it was VERY rare, of historical significance or a true art piece (inlay , engraving ect.) Otherwise make it happy and let it smile.

Sooo... does that means there's excessive wear on the scope?

Yep. That thing's worn out, but I'll take it of your hands for a nominal disposal fee.
