Anyone ever seen a 'nearly unfired' Barrel? Its either been fired or it hasn't? Was good for a laugh anyway!

[BPJONES]

That's another way of saying it's not nearly perfect!!

on auction sites that usually means "shot it a few times, decided muzzleloadin' wasn't for me, put it in the rack/safe". maybe it was cleaned first but often-times not. if they don't have a good pik or two of the bore I'd say yer chances of it bein' in "nearly unfired" condition would be somewhere south of 50-50.

just went & looked at the pix. barrel doesn't look too bad but, that bore's quite a few notches below "nearly unfired" condition IMHO.

My thoughts EXACTLY! Im not looking for a barrel, i have plenty, i just seen that title and got a kick out of it! Its either fired, or unfired, plain and simple! Nearly unfired? LOL, ok

american english isnt perfect, we all know what he ment.

i look for the same thing too. i especially always marveled at the "mountain-man/re-enactor" laptop & phone cases that used to be quite prominent on evil-bay

more like, "Nearly Overpriced"

and, after looking at pics, I'd also say, the bore was nearly cleaned properly.

Rode hard and put away wet would be closer to accurate. Thanks for the laugh.

Nearly unfired is like being a little bit pregnant.

[mooman76]

Or almost a virgin.

[gunauthor]

Maybe "damn near unfired" is more accurate......

Couldnt of said it any better than this! lol

[johnson1942]

i bought one years ago like that, new on the outside. the neighbor had fired it with pyrodex and put it away ten years before. i should have checked the bore. it was like a stove pipe. useless. had to rebarrel it.

[bob208]

for the price of that barrel. i will sell you a whole tc only it is a .50 cal with a real good bore.

[Hawks Feather]

The seller does think that it is an extremely valuable barrel. I think a person could get a barrel at a much lower price.

[wgr]

I have one in 54 that's been shot a lot and it looks lots better

[beemer]

Probably never fired uphill either.

I don't know how many times I've heard "But I only shot it one time."
