Q? on buying from a private party in another state
Hi Guys,
What's the best way to handle this? I found a rifle in another state. Is there a "safe" way to do this without getting ripped off? I don't see how I can make sure I get the gun if I send a USPS MO to this guy.
Thanks

Id like to know this as well. I just sent a money order for a lower to some guy in utah.

If I'm ever at a party and the cops come to arrest people. Ill blindfold myself, throw the ball gag in, handcuff my hands, and hide in a closet. Police never arrest hostages!
Did you get it off of a site where the seller had some kind of feedback?
I did.

I have seen many guns I've wanted on Armslist out of state but decided against it after realizing it could be almost impossible to collect if they didn't ship the firearm. Good luck.

I have ordered many things out of state where I had to send a mondey order but only using forums where there is feedback available, like here or snipershide.com. I would never do it from an armslist or craigslist style site.

If you use USPS money order and the guy doesn't ship, you report him for mail fraud to the postal inspector's service. That's a big reason some people insist on USPS MO, for the mail-fraud protection angle.

it's off armslist.
I think I'll see if he'll overnight it to Liberty Arms, once they verify delivery I'll pay him. I don't feel comfortable otherwise.

yeah, real crap shoot off sites like Armslist, gunsamerica and similar ones. Just make sure they have some feedback and hope you don't get ripped off. I bought some 5.56 ammo from someone on gunsamerica last week, sent the MO and got my UPS tracking number today.
Make him give you proof of address (USPS Delivery Confirmation) and then you have his address so you can pay him a visit if he screws you.
