Well as an outside observer I would say that R.L. is a perfect example of what is wrong with people in general:
1.) He is not involved with the sale. He is not the seller. He was not present for the deal. Yet he thinks he knows something and feels compelled to post a bunch of nonsense.
Do you see what I did there? Why am I posting this? Who the hell am I?
R.L.'s friend did a sh*%%y deal and needs to make it right. Pretty simple really. I don't care who either of these guys are friends with, or how many times they did things right. The benchmark of every person's character is what they do when no one is looking, or put another way for those sitting back in the cheap seats, "character is revealed when things go wrong." Pretty typical these days, the seller f*Xd up and it is the buyers fault? In this case the otherwise perfect seller did not provide the one sling, and cleaning kit. This is not a matter for discussion, debate, or consideration. The fact that R.L. did a bunch of deals with the Seller is not relevant in any way. This is not his forum, and Mr Heck is not on trial.
2.) The original poster bought two rifles from Mr Heck for the agreed upon sum of $8,000? The last time I asked my Mom for that much money to buy a couple of overrated galil rifles she told me to get another paper route. The original poster is obviously a cry baby because he paid $8,000 dollars for two rifles that are not 50% what one FN SCAR is. Everyone knows this. Everyone but the buyer. Poor bastard. I could of got him a hell of a good deal on a SCAR because that is what the NAVY SEALS use and therefore is the only gun anyone ever needs. EVAR! I am the NIGHT RIDER and I know all about gunz! I have perfect feedback from my ENTIRE family and half the trailer park. The other half are A$$holz.
Do I even have to point out that this has nothing to do with anything?
3.) Seems to me that if the deal was done over a month ago that is was probably reasonable to figure that Mr. Heck was never going to send the sling and cleaning kit from the second rifle like he promised he would? OR is that the original buyers fault too? The buyer is a gullible fool right? Who cares about a cleaning kit, and sling? Maybe a collector who is willing to meet a guy with $8,000 cash for two (2) overrated pre 89 collectible galils that are supposed to be 100% complete?
I wonder how one of the super respected, super awesome above reproach dealer guys would have treated the original poster if roles were reversed and he was trying to sell them the rifle without the sling and cleaning kit? I would bet they would ding him 10% to 20% because of that? Seriously? Who is kidding who here?
4.) If the seller said he would either provide, or purchase the guy an original new sling and cleaning kit he needs to do it. If he wanted to approve an alternative to the deal in advance he should not have given him the option to go find his own.
If Mr Heck dislikes the purchaser that is NOT relevant, and no excuse for not holding up his end of the deal. He took the money knowing the one box was short. He said he had those items at home in his safe, and that he would get them to the original poster. There is no way to spin this any other way than what it is; one guy owes the other guy a new cleaning kit, and sling from a pre 89 galil.
