Bottom line, it is not a good idea to post your e-mail address in a reply to an ad. Here are some reasons:
A buyer should always speak to the seller. Vet them out. Be appropriately cautious before you send out hundreds, or thousands of dollars. Never wire money...Never, ever. Do not send funds via Moneygram. Once you speak to the person, and are comfortable that they do not appear to be a scammer, check their address and contact information. Check their FFL address against the ATF database. Check their address on Google Street View, and see if it appears valid. Visit them, and see the gun in person, especially if it's very expensive. If the deal is too good, or anything doesn't feel right, walk away. Don't get greedy. If the deal is too good, there's a problem.

Rank is a paid membership...If you look at the Store link at the top of the page, you can see the various personal and commercial ranks, which relate to how many ads you can post within a year.
Subtitles indicate how many posts you have made on the board, and it changes as you post more.
Feedback is received when another member "likes" your post.

You will need to go to the "Store" link at the top left side of the page, and upgrade your account. You are not eligible to post items for sale unless you have the appropriate membership. A "Seaman" account can only reply to ads, post WTB ads, and post in the discussion forums. Earlier this year, shortly after we transitioned to the new format, we stopped being a free site after almost 17 years.

Here’s a “Black Friday” deal for you…Take advantage of my decades of manual collecting and selling, and get almost every M14 manual ever published.
All the M14/M15 manuals shown below, and the Infantry magazine M14 foldout poster can be yours for $100, plus $4.53 Media Mail (Book Rate) shipping. I accept PayPal, or checks and money orders, with appropriate consideration. Ohio residents must add 7% sales tax.
Here are the details for the manuals, pictured from left to right, top to bottom:
1. Special Text 7-179, U.S. Rifles, 7.62-MM M14 and M15, The United States Army Infantry School, Fort Benning, Georgia, December 1958 – This is a very scarce manual that includes the M15 Rifle, and is 46 pages long. Not many folks have this manual in their collection, so here’s your chance to add it to yours.
2. FM 23-8, U.S. Rifle, 7.62-MM, M14, December 1959, 75 pages
3. FM 23-8, U.S. Rifle, 7.62MM, M14 and M14E2, May 1965, 50 pages
4. FM 23-71, Rifle Marksmanship, December 1966, 228 pages, plus a 4-gae supplement included – This manual covers marksmanship with the M14 Rifle
5. United States Army Infantry School, Department of Nonresident Instruction, Fort Benning, Georgia, M14 and M14A2 Rifles (7.62MM) Advance Sheet, 22 Feb 1967, 18 pages – This is one you’ve likely never seen before.
6. TM 9-1005-223-20, Organizational Maintenance Manual Including Basic Issue Items List and Organizational Spare Parts and Special Tools List, Rifles, 7.62-MM, M14 and M14A1, and Bipod, Rifle, M2, 19 May 1967, 72 pages – This manual was published at Rock Island, Illinois.
7. TM 9-1005-223-35, Direct Support, General Support, and Depot Maintenance Manual Including Repair Parts and Special Tools List: Rifle, 7.62-MM: M14, M14A1, and Bipod, Rifle: M2, July 1968 (Reproduction), 65 pages – There’s a chance this one is original, but I think it’s a reproduction manual.
8. FM 23-8, M14 and M14A1 Rifles and Rifle Marksmanship, April 1974, 235 pages, plus a 4-page supplement, and a 1-page Technical Article included.
9. Pocket TM 9-1005-223-10, March 1972, U.S. Government Printing Office reprint dated 1988, approx. 130 pages
10. 3-page foldout M14 Rifle poster from Infantry Magazine, unknown date
This is a great deal for an M14 aficionado!

Bottom line...It's best not to publicly post your e-mail address if you respond to an ad. Use the PM feature, or respond privately to the e-mail address posted in the ad, or post about interest in the item in the forum without including your e-mail address. If you include your e-mail address, scammers may contact you, offering to sell you the same item at a lower price. Don't take the bait.

Wish I knew how to post photos..
Also, how do I post in the NFA sale forum? Do I need to pay to sell items?
Yes, you need to have membership to post items for sale. This post borders on a sale post...Please up your membership, and post in the NFA Sales Forum.

Frank,
Hover your mouse over the poster's board name to the left of their ad, and the "Message" option will appear in the lower left hand corner of a window that will appear. That is the private message (PM) function that can be used to contact members. Alternatively, posters can post their e-mail address publicly within their ad, but some choose not to do so for various reasons.

20 hours ago, blacktalon said:how about if they are the buyer same process?
You can do this, if they have posted on the board. If the buyer has not posted on the board, you will not be able to provide positive points. You could also post a positive message about your buyer in one of the discussion forums.

Summer is the slow time on all gun boards.
Donations to Sturm directly were very few and far between before the change. They accounted for about 20% of total costs. Machinegunboards.com members enabled Sturm to continue for many years, as members there donated about 50% of the costs. The remaining 30% was picked up by me. There was no way that Sturm could survive in the old format.
BTW, I believe the "Dan" that Mike refers to is actually me, though my name is David.

A question I had after reading this is whether there is any issue with a rewat that was registered 50 years or more ago being C&R. I assume it is, based on age, and regardless of being unaltered, and as manufactured. Am I correct, or is there another potential wrinkle of which I am not aware?

My wife and I were digging through the basement storage closet yesterday, because our teenage daughters wanted to see if my wife could find some of her 1980's and 90's concert t-shirts. Alas, after pretty much giving up on the search, my wife found a box where she had stored "sentimental" items, and we found the concert shirts. Along with them was my 1991 Hill Country Machine Gun Shoot shirt. I thought maybe it had been thrown away, or donated years ago. It still has oil stains on it...I remember I had over-lubed my M1 Thompson, and became peppered with dirty oil on my shoulder during the shoot. A white shirt was not exactly the best choice for a machine gun shoot shirt...Anyway, here are some photos of the shirt, for those who are interested.
