The no response would make me real nervous, if he doesn't respond real soon and provide some info I would begin to consider it a possible fraud.

Sent him a message on Facebook too.
I realize it's more than likely futile as this point. |

I made up a burner email at outlook.com and tried to contact him about his rifle with no response yet. Also sent him a message on Facebook and screenshot some of his friends list. I realize it's more than likely futile as this point. |

It was a decent deal, but they're hard to find right now with Beretta setting up shop in Tennessee, so the fact it was "available" and a decent price is what made me move on it. I haven't been able to buy anything outright since I found out my wife was pregnant with our first 6 years ago, and only had the funds for this after selling a rifle off. Definitely hurts to be stupid, I guess.  Quote HistoryQuoted:

Was it a really hot deal? I have found that the hot deals are generally scams. I haven't been able to buy anything outright since I found out my wife was pregnant with our first 6 years ago, and only had the funds for this after selling a rifle off. Definitely hurts to be stupid, I guess. The only Armslist deal I did the item was delivered to the FFL and then I sent the funds. If folks are not willing to do that then I'm not going to deal with them. Hopefully it works out for you. |

OP, are you interested in real estate investment?
I've got a bridge in a prime location that I'm about to list. If you send me the money order this weekend, I'll sell it to you instead of putting it on the market. |

Well... with any luck the 'sellers' FFL is a crappy and slow as one near me that sat on an outbound shipment for 3 weeks without alerting me (sender), the receiving FFL or the buyer a few years ago. It didn't actually ship until I'd made a phone call to the ATF to see if they could help me get the gun back to take to a different dealer to ship.
 I arocked the shit out of that FFL.... haven't been in his shop since.
I'm guessing OP isn't lucky enough to just have a shitty sending FFL. |

FedEx tracking says it'll be delivered today. Will update with pics for proof when I pick it up.
Thank you you to the guys that were able to contact him on the other site. He says my emails weren't arriving, so that's where the disconnect was. |

 Hell yeah big thanks are in order.  Nice gun OP, and now with a decent backstory.

Exact reason why I stay the fuck away from Armslist. Absolute zero accountability. I got a kick out of trolling the fuckers who were selling 2500.00 SCAR H's when they were actually 4k.
There were many yes's to my main inquiry, "this is for the SCAR heavy, the one that shoots the .30-06x5.56x45 round, right?" Fucking idiots. |

Just dealt with this on armslist as well, guy copy and pasted the description and pictures from someone's GunBroker ad. Took 2 weeks from the time I flagged it as scam on armslist to get an email back from them, all my communication with the guy was shady as could be. I sent copies of all the emails to his local PD and also to the ATF tips email. |
