I’m assuming you’ve been able to inspect the RLL?

Yes when my SOT received it. I think they have a 3 day return policy or something. Looks as expected

He was notorious for taking really bad photos of MGs and listing them as in great condition, which makes for a lot of unhappy buyers. He was also very vague in descriptions, almost sketchy, like he would call a Colt Sp1 a M16....yeah I get that its in the M16 family, but a SP1 that has been converted vs a factory Colt RR that is marked M16 or M16A1 is a BIG difference in price. He would also list something as  "Colt Commando" but it didn't actually have a true Colt Commando lower, it was just a random SP1 Colt lower that had a 11.5" commando upper on it, I cant sell my M16 as a M4 just because I put a 14.5" barrel upper on it, that's not how it works. I cant confirm this but I believe i remember reading on here about someone who thought they were buying a non-colt Olympic RR from him and ended up receiving a RLL in a semi-auto Olympic lower, again, poor description and terrible pictures.

With that said, those days seem to be behind him and he and his staff seem to take more pride in selling a quality product.

I noticed that too, specifically with the Colt SP-1s, I also noticed that on David Spiwak’s website, labeling Colt SP-1s as “M-16.”  I guess it comes down to knowing what you are shopping for.

Franks treated me very well and helped me move some machineguns for a very fair price. Offered me a lot more than any of the other dealers out there. I will always give that man my business.

Not an expert, but that is what I’d do!

I saw a lot of not only poor "intentional?" descriptions, but some that were down right lies.
