OK i can't believe you guys ,you are so dazzled by the hardware that you didn't click on the link for the description,
"Bushmaster XM15 with 20" Heavy Barrel with a flash suppressor. It has a 4X21 scope made for the AR-15 rifles. It has a collapsible shorty stock and standard stock. 10rd and 30rd Bushmaster mags. Soft case, hard case and field cleaning kit that fits in the stock. Only 250 rounds shot" This is a postban rifle if i'm not mistaken. |

That's a "Franken rifle", and was most likely born in a laboratory. If you look real close, it has 2 bolts on each side of its neck.

And some of you guys still wonder why most FFLs ONLY accept guns from other FFLs. Can you imagine you are a FFL, Joe Blow from gunsamerica sends you the above AR for a "new" customer of yours and ATF decides to pull an inspection the same day.
I am personally leary of receiveing guns for anyone from internet auction sites for just this very reason. I have seen alot of illegal postban guns on places like the above. I'd rather do the leg work and track down a legal preban rifle from dealers who are known to me. |

The guy is obviously an idiot.
1) telestock on a rifle 2) 20 inch barrel with 5 inch FS (why bother with the telestock? it still won't fit in a regular 40 inch case.) 3) If it's a preban (telstock and FS)then he's an idiot for selling it for just 800 bucks. If it's a post ban then he's an idiot for having a FS and telestock on it. So basically, he's an idiot. |

Collapsible stocks on 20" AR's are super cool. Those of you who thinks it looks funny, just look at the fullsize HK91 and FN FAL as an example. Both of those are fullsize weapons and the collapsible/folding stocks fit them well.

All you guys are way off base here as i see it, I have a lot of friends that have pre-ban colts and none of them have bayo-lugs. So just by looking at the setup it's kind of hard to tell if it can or cannot have a colapsible stock!
Could be if he paid the tax,might even be looking at an M16. Any way dude which is it,if you would even grace me with the answer. And buy the way the serial# should be of more importance than what anybody thinks or don't thinks they see. Bob [:D] |

Quoted: Could be if he paid the tax . . . Bob [:D] What tax are you referring to? If you are talking about a marriage between a RDIAS and a post-ban lower, then I would agree. If you are, as I suspect, referring to a SBR tax on a Form 1, then you are mistaken. You cannot put a tele-stock on a post-ban lower even with approved Form 1 SBR status. |

It's the most useless piece of metal I've ever seen in my life.
If you mount a collapsible stock, it's ok to have the barrel SHORTER than the standard version. To have the standard barrel with the collapsible is like to put full throttle on a Ferrari and than to brake to adjust the speed. Also the flash suppressor... BLEAH! On a standard barrel? Naaaaaa... This aside the legal implication for a US owner of this "Frankenrifle"... It's a nonsense rifle... |

Bob The ad referred to a "Bushy XM15" and he's selling everything for $800.00. If it's a pre-ban, he's OK. If it's a post-ban, there is no tax that would allow him to put a tele-stock on the lower, unless it was a Form 1 marriage to a Form 4 RDIAS. |

"TAX, TAX, TAX", as liberal dems like to chant.
I was addressing that aspect of your reply. As I said, if it's a pre-ban, he's OK (and neither "tax" nor "M16" would apply). BTW, I see nothing that would indicate he has a pre-ban and suspect it is NOT a preban given the price and the conspicuous lack of the term in the description. Which is why I wrote what I did in reply to your comment. |

Well seeing as how prebans are one of my primary focuses I disagree. I have a well established network of dealers who I work with. For other reasons you may never have thought of, for instance things arrive in the condition described etc. And MY policies certainly DO NOT limit YOUR options, you are free to find another gun dealer. In fact the only thing that limits your options is the amount of FFLs going out of business trying to survive on the flat fee you are willing to pay them. Quoted: Good for you. Based on you previous posts, business must be booming and you'll soon be able to retire, right? Actually, I am doing OK since most of my customers are NOT like you. Not rich, but still eating.

Quoted: Fortunately, there are forward thinking gun dealers who embrace the Internet and how it has radically influenced the way guns are bought and sold and who are willing to cater to savvy shoppers willing to do their own leg work. What all this babble comes down to is YOU want to buy guns at cost and have a FFL transfer them to YOU at next to nothing. You can try and pretend otherwise if you want. What you DON'T want to recognize is a dealer CANNOT stay in business this way. The sad fact is you will probably have to pay an additional $25.00 for your next SKS. |

What you DON'T want to recognize is a dealer CANNOT stay in business this way. The sad fact is you will probably have to pay an additional $25.00 for your next SKS. Wrong. Many dealers can and DO stay in business while offering to do transfers at reasonable flat fee rates. It's not their sole business, just a service they offer. The dealers I've seen who weren't able to stay in business are the ones who think the clock stopped 10 years ago and that they keep on blindly gouging their customers. |

The dealers I've seen who weren't able to stay in business are the ones who think the clock stopped 10 years ago and that they keep on blindly gouging their customers. Actually YOU seem to think the clock stopped 10 years ago. When FFLs were only $40.00 and you could run a business off of your kitchen counter 10% transfers were fair. Now that regulations and overhead are much higher most "dealers" need to charge a little more. I watch transfer dealers go out of business all the time. I'm still in business and intend to stay that way. Fortunately I don't have a many customers like you. But tell you what, I'm willing to try it. I am starting a sideline "SteyrAUGs Welfare Guns for Communists", this sideline will ONLY do transfers for a flat fee. As a result of it's limited income capacity I won't be able to promote it much, or devote much time to it, but I'm sure that guys just like you will come in hordes to keep it in business. The flat fee will only be as much is necessary to pay for the cost of licensing and operatinal expenses. No effort will be maded to generate a profit. If intersted email [url][email protected][/url] "Welfare Guns for Communists" offer and a non paid employeee will handle your transaction as soon as we assign one to your transaction case. |

If it truly is a preban, then It is a really good deal, the lower alone is worth his asking price. But you would think He would have specifically said PRE-BAN in his ad. My guess is that he doesnt even know what a pre-ban is, that he slapped a telestock and flash hider on not even knowing that It was illegal. |

Unfortunately, for SteyrAUG, my local dealer disproves EVERYTHING he has to say about the sunject. This is a dealer who, as part of a hardware store, has been in business for the last 20 years that I can remember, and probably a hell of a lot longer than that. They do transfers from out of state dealers and private sellers for a flat $25. They also stock a limited number of competitively priced firearms that tend to be the most popular in general with the local sportsmen and shooters. They sell ammunition and a few accessories at reasonable prices. I've never come right out and asked it, but based on casual conversation with the manager it sounds as if simple transfers are now a large portion of their business. And the business is not just surviving, but thriving. This is a perfect example of a dealer who is embracing the new economy and finding success in it.
SteyAUG seems to be hung up on dealer pricing. That's not even what I'm talking about. If I'm buying a new Remington rifle, I don't expect to pay what the distributor charges. As an informed consumer, I don't have any problem whatsoever with a reasonable markup. But I'll be damned if I'm going to spend my time watching all the various gun related websites, find a rifle I would like to buy from an out of state dealer or private party, take care of payment and shipping arrangements myself, and then pay a local dealer at least $100 just for the 5 minutes it takes him to fill out a 4473. Thankfully there are dealers who do realize that isn't reasonable and do not atempt to extort their customers in such a manner. |

I remember my Grandfather ran a grocery store in Crowell, Texas. It was just after WWI and it was a very modest grocery store from the beginning.
He had five ladies in town, mostly widows, who baked bread which he sold in his store. He always remarked that the bread was the best he'd ever eaten and my Grandmother was the best cook in the County (sez he!), so this bread must have been great! A cityslicker from Dallas came to see him in 1930 and told him that he could make more of a profit by selling Mrs Beaird's Bread, which was machine made and sliced, for a lot less than he could buy it for from the 5 ladies who made bread for him. My Grandfather refused the man's offer, but another grocery store took the offer and was soon selling Mrs Beaird's Bread, with all its newfangled, highfalutin, advertising. Well, what with the Great Depression having hit and his prices being undercut by these new products, etc., my Grandfather went out of business and the 5 ladies went on relief. As soon as this occurred, the other grocery raised the price of Mrs Beairds Bread to what my Grandfather used to charge for the handmade bread, which everyone admitted was much superior. What does all this have to do with FFLs and the fees they charge for handling transfers? I have no earthly idea! I just wanted to talk about my Grandfather!

Yes you need an FFL to recieve but there appears to be a burgeoning cottage industry in this area, doing transfers. Coupled with the fact that you need not pay sales tax on interstate transactions the internet is opening up new avenues for the firearms purchaser and yes it is also making the smaller FFL scramble to compete and stay viable. Sincerely, I wish you the best of luck in your business. |

It just may be a pre-ban lower--which would fetch around $500 by ittself. The seller didn't mention the serial number. If it's under L-63000 then it's a pre-ban.

Let me try and end this as maturely as Maynard. And this is not directed specifically to him.
I don't sell hardware and transfers are not my primary business. I am a firearms dealer, I buy at dealer price and sell for a profit, except in the case of prebans where there is no such thing as dealer price. For known customers I will, as a matter of courtesy, receive private transaction firearms for the cost of a background check and file fee. The exception being those who would want to order firearms directly from a wholesale supplier at dealer price. I still manage to offer firearms at less than manufacturers retail because I keep my overhead as low as possible. I charge enough to make a living and stay in business. The reality is there is not a gun market like there was twenty years ago. Even the largest stores don't get the sheer volume needed to operate on a 10% markup. Smaller dealers like myself have even less activity. |

Standard stocks go good with 20 in rifles but not with 16 in barrels. An M4 with a trap door stock looks like an ape with a midget sized pecker, which is why there's nothing wrong with people puting faux collapsible stocks on post bans for asthetic purposes. |

I guess to me the only thing that looks wrong is I can't see a shell deflector.

Quoted: Quoted: Collapsible stocks on 20" AR's are super cool. Those of you who thinks it looks funny, just look at the fullsize HK91 and FN FAL as an example. Both of those are fullsize weapons and the collapsible/folding stocks fit them well. Oh man... It's kind of like truck configuration. A single cab looks great with an 8ft box, but put an 8ft box on a club cab and it looks like shit. Likewise a club cab only looks good with a 6ft box. Standard stocks go good with 20 in rifles but not with 16 in barrels. An M4 with a trap door stock looks like an ape with a midget sized pecker, which is why there's nothing wrong with people puting faux collapsible stocks on post bans for asthetic purposes. Here's what the cool 20" "shorty" looks like. An image I found taken randomly off the net. [img]http://www.imagestation.com/picture/sraid21/p5097511236c5b3647dbb47afb68c9121/fdb28023.jpg[/img] |

This matter has been resolved without the alphabet boys,it seems that the kid went to a gun show and a guy selling accessories told the young man that it was OK to build what ever rifle you want,the young mans father was greatful that someone took the time to e-mail and help straiten this out before the kid got into big trouble ,from what i was told the rifle is at factory specs now and will remain that way.
Who ever took the time to help this kid out ,Thanks |
