Buying a used gun – Tips and advice

There are a few factors to consider when buying used guns for sale in South Africa, to ensure that you are 100% satisfied with your purchase. Follow the following tips and advice when purchasing a used gun:

1. Do your research: Only purchase used guns when you know who you are buying from. If you are using an online platform, make sure to research the seller’s previous sales to establish his / her trustworthiness. Purchasing at a gun shop might be a safer alternative, as you will be able to inspect the gun personally.
2. Deciding on the make and model: It makes it easier if you know exactly which model gun you would like to purchase. But if you are looking for a gun in a certain price range or size, you might feel overwhelmed with options. Make sure you research the gun make and model you are considering purchasing, especially if it is a foreign-manufactured model you are not familiar with.
3. Ask what you want to know: Don’t be afraid to ask questions about the specific gun, such as who the owner was, how often it was used and why they are selling it. A gun is a long term investment, so it is not unexpected that the buyer wants to know exactly what he is buying.
4. Take a thorough look: If you have the option of inspecting the gun physically, do so! Look at the wear and tear, and determine whether the gun was customised etc.
5. Know your prices: If you’ve done thorough research on used guns, you will have a good idea of the gun’s value. Don’t be overcharged due to a lack of research! At VOS Gunshop you can rely on competitive and cost-effective prices on our used guns range.
