This is why I stick to dealing with reputable members off this site or Gunbroker.

The rifle shown looked to be half decent and I might have been interested had I seen it sooner but I rarely peruse the ads of Armslist.

Sounds like another reason to go to a gun shop and request the buyer has a pics check. Not that I promote pics checks for every purchase but for those random people that you don't know it can't hurt.

Gunlaywer says "do your due diligence". This time it would have paid off.

We have reputable members?

I won't do Armslist. It's the Craigslist of gun sales. No bueno. I hear too many bad stories about it and there are much better options, as mentioned above.

Kind of a stretch huh?

Just saw it on Fox news. They mentioned Armslist and had a pretaped phone interview with the victim. It was 54th and Berk St in Philly. Why don't you just drive into West Philly and throw the AK out the window. Who the fuck drives into West Philly to sell anything, let alone an AK.

Very poor judgement coupled with greed?..The seller is twenty four years old according to the news report.

Amen to that! I avoid ANY part of Philly for that matter!
