UPDATE!!!! I received my items that I paid for from this original ad:
www.ar15.com/forums/topic.html?b=7&f=90&t=183466 Items #2 & #4 were as described. I received the items via UPS 2nd day air today. Not too bad of a delay from payment to shipping, considering I have waited longer for stuff from Ebay.
IYAOYAS467 contacted me via email, after I filed a complaint via PAYPAL, and explained that he had some personal difficulties & circumstances that recently prevented him from fulfilling his obligation. He even went as far as to offer a partial refund, in addition to the extra expense of shipping the items 2nd day air. I refused the partial refund, as I believe that he had a rough time of late, and that he does in fact have integrity.
Thank you to all for your assistance and kind words. Well, I guess I am back to ZERO bad deals from AR15.com, not to invite MURPHY to rain on my parade or anything....
