There was an ad on the for sale board a while back asking to trade a pre-ban AR for a Beretta. I will cross post this to the Ad board. This is the e-mail I just got from the individual:
"greetings,
sorry i took so long to return the emails, but i havent had easy access
to a computer lately.
yes this offer is for real, but there is a catch.
[b]i want this transaction to be under the counter..[/b]
the ar is in fully functional condition with some marks from use.
i am not the origional owner so i cant tell you how many rounds through
this h-bar rifle, but the bore appears in excellent condition.
i have replaced the origional fore control group with a dpms set
because the rifle was doubbleing up, the problem was fixed.
i would like a 92 - f with 2+ hi caps, would like ambi safety and slide
release.
i have had many offers, and will concider each in turn.
no, it is not illegal to send pre ban high caps to p.r.n.y.
this pistol would be sealed up in a vapor proof case and hidden away
from prying eyes for a rainy day (hopefully never to be used)
Bold Mine
I don't know if this individual is ignorant of the law, was looking for an in-state (I am not sure on NY laws) transaction, or is an ATF Sting. Be warned.
