Airforce Buying blemished airforce texan
- Thread starter tempo47
- Start date
There’s another thread about someone who recently purchased one. In all honesty it looked USED. Rust on the exterior of the barrel, gun case particles in the nooks and crannies.

Tempo,

Usually lucky with "open box," or "blemish," saved $3 on a small wooden bat house from Amazon with "minor cosmetic mark," received a plastic bag of kindling! WM

I love my Airforce, but will be the first to admit that AF guns are ugly.
So with that, how much uglier can a blemished Airforce Texan be?
If it has a bunch of ugly corrosion, scratches, and or nicks that really bother you, just rattle can it in the color of your choice and you just saved yourself $300 less the cost of a can of Rustoleum.
