Looking for something in a light .280ai. Kimber Montana or similar.

That's the best needle in a haystack post we have seen in a while.

So, I am just curious. And don't take this the wrong way as I am not trying to tell you what to do or not to do or questioning if it is right or wrong. I just see this occasionally, especially on this site.

But do people really agree to bill of sales and copies of IDs?

I have bought and sold a LOT of guns and have never done that. Never been asked to and never asked anyone else.

Now in all fairness most of what I am interested in are not the type of guns that end up at crime scenes and I stick to one or two websites. But I ran pawn shops for 16 years all over the country and have been through countless traces and never scene or heard of anyone having any issues after a private sale.

No that's not the point. I don't even know what he is selling. That's not the reason for the question.

I am not trying to be critical. I am just trying to understand why someone would limit the amount of potential buyers by making such a request. I just looked at the first 20 or so posts on my favorite website to find these types of transactions and didn't see a similar request. I only see it here.

Rockwalls answer was 'to cover my bases.' Fair enough. Not sure what those bases are but fair enough.

If the weapon you sold is eventually used in a crime (either by that buyer or someone he sold it to in the future) it would be nice to have something to back up your innocence with when the feds knock down your door. Most conservative Aggies are...conservative...and like to be safe and "cover their bases".

OK. Last post on this slight derail.

If the bases are 'when the feds knock down your door' the chances of something like that happening are extremely remote. And the chances of you being found guilty of something are even more remote. Like more remote than getting struck by lightning. That was my point when I said I have been through countless ATF traces and never seen or heard of anyone anywhere in the country get in any kind of trouble for what is a legal transaction for the seller.

Again I was just trying to understand the reasoning behind several people limiting their buyer base. And I certainly am not trying to be critical, especially in this day and age. If thats what it takes for someone to be comfortable then by all means go for it.

Allow me to interpret for my friend agsalaska.

F THE GOVERNMENT
KISS MY ASS
COME AND TAKE IT, *******S. TEXAS IS ABOUT 5 YEARS FROM BEING DONE WITH THE OTHER 49 ANYWAY.

I hope this explains it.

To get this back on track. I have a new, never fired PSA AR in .556 that is just taking up space in the safe. I need to make some room. It's sporting a Vortex Sparc with rubberized cover. Also brand new. Willing to sell or preferably trade (plus cash if needed) for a nice 1911 or a threaded barrel pistol to use as a suppressor host.



Eta: it has the mid-weight barrel, not pencil contour

SOLD. Selling this Rolling Block .357 mag. Uberti known as the "Baby Rolling Block". Gun is small and fun to shoot but need funds for other purchases.

"The rolling block design is one of the strongest actions ever produced. Using modern metals and more precise manufacturing methods, Uberti is able to produce a rifle that's one-third of the original gun's size and weight, yet retains all the strength for use with today's modern ammo. The Baby Rolling Block Carbine has a 22" round, blued barrel, color case hardened receiver, and is fitted with a brass buttplate and trigger guard."

Located near College Station.

Thanks for looking.

I usually don't do it buy will in the right circumstances. I buy with cash. I have met some sorta shady "dudes" in the Hempstead outlet mall parking lot and bought guns out of his trunk. They weren't wild or NFA items. One was a Winchester Model 70 for 300 dollars and he threw in a Marlin Glennfield 60 to go with it. If the prices are really good and he wants to meet in a parking lot...I'm bringing cash. I'm not giving or taking ID. I'm buying and GTFO. Buyer and seller beware.

I have bought guns from Ags here as well and never done the bill of sale thing. It's also cash. I do have a CHL though and usually have that or will show it if someone wants. I have no problem signing a bill of sale if that makes a seller comfortable.

Attempt number whatever to get thread back on track...

If anyone has a Beretta 70 or 71 in .22 or 32 acp, or a CZ 82/83 in .32 acp, I'm interested in it.

I had a gun I sold end up found in a raid of heroin house run by the blood gang in a state I've never been to. I had no idea until years later, the DAs office sent me a letter letting me know that I could claim my property at the courthouse on a certain date. I called them and they told me which gun it was. I told them that I had sold it to a friend, who had turned around and sold it to a coworker. They said since I sold it, I had no legal right to claim it, but didn't ask for any names or details. It was on the east coast, so no chance I would have traveled there to claim a crappy S&W Sigma .40 anyway.
