  1. Seems to me maybe a wire transfer bank to bank would be the safest. You can’t even trust checks anymore. Last year I bought a couple guns from someone (a legit dealer) and mailed him a couple personal checks totaling over 65k. I wrote these checks out of a checking acct I rarely ever use. In fact other than those gun checks, the only other check I wrote out of that acct the whole year was to my kids private school. Since I don’t use that acct often I also don’t check it. I happened to notice an email last October that came from Bank of America saying my wire transfer was complete. When I logged in to that acct I noticed over the last 2-3 months over $40,000 had been stolen from the acct using ach check purchases, wire transfers, etc. There were a few different people using the acct info to buy whatever they wanted including paying off credit cards(prob stolen cards to keep the card working) Home Depot purchases, one guy in Florida even paid his health insurance with it. I did get the police involved and it took a few weeks and several hours on the phone with Bank of America but they did give the money back to me. I can’t remember the exact time frame but it was either 60 or 90 days you had to report the fraud and it was one day beyond that when I noticed it. Being a premium platinum account holder for many years they said they would make it right and give the money back. They did. Well somewhere someone got my checking routing and acct number and that’s all they needed. Some micro deposits were made and verified for certain transactions which makes me believe it was an inside job with banking personnel. I think the dealer I sent the checks to took the checks to the bank and there might have been a dirty teller seeing large checks from out of state and shared the info with people they knew who possibly worked in the banking industry maybe with the same bank. Who knows I ca. only speculate. Even personal checks aren’t safe anymore. It boggles me that banks don’t use a proprietary encrypted barcode system on checks rather than printing actual acct info on the check. Just my personal experience.
  2. Be careful when posting your email address guys. Scammers look for this so they can contact you posing as the original seller. It’s more safe to post a reply and attach your contact info in a PM. I was recently the victim of ach check fraud and didn’t notice until 40k was drained from my checking acct. thankfully the bank covered me on it. Just be careful everywhere now days. These dirtbags will do anything to steal a dollar.
  3. Well when an ak47 is listed in a public forum for over a quarter million dollars you can expect people to ask questions. I don’t think anyone has any ill intentions towards you or your ad. Personally I see no upside as a nfa investment at 260k, so I’m out. Best of luck with your sale. I’m certain there’s a billionaire out there that just has to have it.
  4. 200 cans of linked bmg is a lot to carry up in to an attic. Lol.
  5. I’ve never done business with komodoj but I wouldn’t hesitate buying a used car from him based on his feedback on here. Probably a machine gun too.
  6. They are pre-86 dealer samples. So no. The very first sentence in his ad says available to current ffl/sot only.
  7. I first saw this ad moments after you posted I’ll take it shiklg. I thought to myself wow that was a nice deal. I missed that one. I have two brand new unfired pre sample imi uzis in original boxes and thought this would make a nice addition to the collection.
  8. Was BMCs acct credentials hacked here or did a scammer try to intercept payment on a legit ad? It’s confusing to say the least but I wouldn’t be sending anyone money on this gun unless everything is confirmed. If someone does end up getting this I’ll buy some mags from them lol.
  9. Wow that’s crazy! BMC appears to be a legitimate user here. This type of correspondence appears to indicate his account log in credentials maybe have been compromised? What state does the seller claim to be in ? If in Virginia I’m happy to help verify what’s needed. The nfa toys we buy and sell is a rich man’s game now. I find it highly unlikely someone selling a machine gun needs to have money wired to a “red flag” account to help pay for emergency bills or expenses that have come up. Protect yourself and protect each other.
  10. This reminds me of when Ruger was doing warranty work on some AC556 guns and replaced them with the new guns with the same serial under warranty. Apparently the atf was unhappy hearing of this and since then Ruger won’t touch an AC556 for warranty work. I don’t recall the exact details but there were a few ac556 guns replaced that people still have. Loose lips sink ships
  11. Brian what part of Va? I have a ffl / sot in va and can assist with your transfer if needed. I’m about 30 min west of Richmond.

    Thanks Andy. Keeping my eyes peeled for a complete transferable.
  13. I’m sorry you got burned. I’d rather pass up a deal if my instinct tells me it’s too good to be true or if anything seems fishy about it. With that said, I hope this helps. https://www.gunbroker.com/item/950004882 This seller is as honest as they come and has been around for a while.
