Answer
Hi Keith,

Are they good guns?  That is a very subjective issue. What is "good" anyway? If you feel that you paid a fair price for it, enjoy shooting it, not had any problems with it, then I'd say by those standards it indeed is a good gun.

What I'm getting at here is that this is often a hotly contested issue by the "experts" and users of firearms in general. In other words, usually it is a matter of who you ask.

I personally know of nothing that would cause me to advise you that your M92 is not a good gun. They are what they are. Relatively inexpensive (not to be equated with cheap) reproduction type rifles built to allow a person to purchase, own, and shoot one at a reasonable price with decent quality.

If I were interested in this type of rifle, I would not hesitate to purchase one and go about shooting it. Just keep in mind that it was not designed nor manufactured to be a $1,000+ gun so don't expect it to be one (now or when selling) and you'll be happy with it.

Thanks for the question Keith. Shoot safe !
