Any tips/recommendations for what to look out for when buying used guns?
1. I've bought numerous (and sold a few) used firearms on GunBroker. You have to use some "common sense" in looking at the seller's feedback rating.
If he's only sold three items, I'd be leery, irrespective of his rating. But if he's sold hundred's, and has an A+ rating, you can probably rely on his description of the gun's condition.
2. Pay with VISA card or some other credit card. If you find that the seller misrepresented the gun's condition, or if you never receive the gun, just dispute the charges. Paying a 3% CC fee (which many sellers now waive), is cheap insurance.
3. If you're buying a used handgun, get a Glock. The factory warranty extends to you, irrespective of who the original owner was, how many owners the gun has had, and how many rounds have been fired through it. After you get it, send it to Glock -- they'll inspect it, replace any worn parts and replace any outdated parts -- at no charge.

Glocks have a lifetime warranty?
