Well well, after 50 emails, just got a notice that he refunded back $70 for the missing items. Face to face > internet

I saw the pictures. The firearms were more or less ok, it is mostly the missing ammo and accessories. In the pictures he sent, you couldnt really see the missing screws. :roll:

Poor college kid and I am too nice of a guy. He is most likely going to return $70 back for the missing ammo and boresnake.

biggyt4488 F- Stay away from So.... we were all due for one of these. Decided to purchase from the seller, before the other bad transaction posted, his Mauser 24/47 and Marlin 795. Had the firearms shipped to my ffl, and ammo and the rest of the things shipped to me, and I had even sent a prepaid fedex label for them. http://thehighroad.org/showthread.php?t=520184 400 rounds of ammo, turned into 160 rounds of ammo that were received. The firearm was described as excellent, however had a little bit of rusting in the lands of the rifling, and missing screws on the hardware. The Marlin was "like new" with a few hundred rounds fired, however it doesnt even look cleaned and the top rail for the scope was scratched up... bad. It also came with "alot" of ammo, which turned into 250 rounds of Federal 22LR, and 100 rounds of remington... all in all, $20 worth of walmart ammo. Lastly missing was the bore snake that was to be included. I quickly contacted the buyer to get this resolved, I felt having him credit me back $75 would be more than fair for the missing ammo, bore snake, shipping that I overpaid for fedex and misrepresentation of the firearm. Here is my recent correspondence to the seller... His replies to me where Followed by Doesn't even acknowledge the fact that he lied about ammo and missing accessories. Hopefully he will make this right.

Bad transactions can happen anywhere. Had my first bad transaction via the high road. Now I don't know if to just reverse the charges completely or what. http://thehighroad.org/showthread.php?t=522473

isnt defacing a serial number a crime in it's own?

Sucks for anyone that has a platform bed. I do have a huge issue with the comment "Now the safest place to keep your guns is where you keep your money." :roll: Just wait till the house is set on fire, or cleaning lady comes. It is a novel idea, but the actual locks and mechanisms dont seem tooo secure.

Correct. Out of state purchases are to be only from a dealer.

Is hoboken/weehawken out of the question? Wasnt someone here an executive chef at a steakhouse?

the stripper clips that come with the polish ammo are good, and obviously original the ones on ebay, are fake chinese knockoffs. They work ok.... the retention mechanism on top and bottom makes it a bit more difficult, and I prefer the smooth walled ones alot better. In any case, the strippers are great to keep loose ammo though.

Smith & Wesson shipped the gun back to me directly, however Springfield armory, when they refinished my XD sent it to an FFL.

Honestly, shoot as many handguns as you can before buying one. Glocks are great and reliable, but often times, they are just not compatible with your hand. Also, if you are looking at Glocks, do yourself a favor and also try the XD's, CZ's, and S&W M&P's. If you can spend a few more c notes, look at H&K's, Sig's and Browning High Powers along with some 1911's. Just because a glock is used by NYC, doesn't mean it is the best gun for you. Unfortunately, alot of departments base their decisions on price as well, and go with whomever gives them the best deal.

Skip the single stage and and get at least the turret. When you come up on tuesday, you can check mine out.

What time is Gene open tomorrow? He usually has plenty of powders, and at very reasonable prices, scratch that, the best prices in the area, most under $19.50 a lb. Add in no hazmat... and you have a winner.

saw that, and then on GlockTalk... found this... http://www.glocktalk.com/forums/showthr ... ?t=1054609

I just may have to keep this round.... =) Originally i thought the maximum was 200gr, but browsing for ammo, I saw magtech sells 45gap ammo in a 230gr hollow point. After seeing that, did a google and there are folks working up the loads. http://www.speer-bullets.com/pdf/45GAP% ... 150dpi.pdf great article by speer on the 45gap round.
