[QUOTE="scalawag pimp, post: 3201009, member: 24580"] Just remove the grips. Even with side plate still on you can get a good idea of what to expect when/if you remove it in future. Another example was a seller of a python about 2 months ago. The add said "sit in climate controlled safe for 30 years." The gun was perfect but when I removed the grips it has a ton of rust on the main and V spring. The guy was shocked and very cool about it and I offered to go home and look/clean it more. Sure enough when I removed the side plate there was substantial rusting on hand and other internals. With the colts and now smiths demanding a premium price, I just thought I would offer this suggestion. I think many people have goggled how to "clean" guns to try and pull top dollar. I just suggest checking under the hood too. [/QUOTE]
