Greetings all, title says it all... has anybody ever bought a firearm off of one of the gunsites etc.? I see some great deals on places like www.thehighroad.org and wonder if it's worth the try or not. Yeah, I know... buyer beware etc. Let me know your experiences,
Thanks, Mongo
 
I've purchased my last several guns that way. Just make sure you get friendly with your neighborhood FFL holder. I havn't been burned yet!
 
I bought a pistol from a guy who posted an ad on rec.guns -- does that count? No problem at all. I searched and found he had sold stuff on the net before and all his customers were happy, so I mailed him a postal money order without a qualm and he sent the gun to my local dealer.
 
I traded guns on berettaforums.net. Was a good experience. Worst part was dealing with my own FFL and even that wasn't bad.
 
I have done maybe 25+ deals online selling and buying both.Never had a problem, but make sure to check out the seller first and if the deal seems too goog to be true............it is. PM me with what your looking for and I can set you up with someone if I don't have it in the shop where I work.

I've bought and sold. The only hitch is the transfer fees which can wreck savings if you have to pay 'em on both ends.

Befriend your FFL!
