So this is 922R Compliant with any magazines that you want. The rest of the gun original Israeli parts were used. This is about as close as most of us will get to a real full auto SAR. You may see a little wear on the plastic as there are as i received them. we have added the original Hebrew markings with the Laser Engraver. we built a small run of these and being that the kits are so hard to find now . This will come with a full one year warranty. These are test fired on the range a magazine each to make sure there is no problems.i take venmo, cashapp, zelle.

maxfaxdude Posted March 26, 2023 Report Share Posted March 26, 2023 (edited) "Robert Twiggs" Sent me an email from 5t1k1540@gmail.com in my response (to the post below on Sturm) that I would buy the gun: Notice the scammer has an email very similar to the legitimate seller's Sturm handle! The scammer wanted me to wire the funds to: Name: Mary Jane Moffitt Routing number: 273974730 Account Number: 13761 Bank name: Employee Credit Union Bank Address: 2714 Central Ave Estherville, IA, 51334. Client address: 809 East 18th Street Spencer IA 51301. However, the scammer refused to provide additional photos of the gun or to speak with me on the phone! I spoke with the legitimate seller Marty (Sturm and Gunbroker handle 5T1K1054) for over 2 hours on the phone yesterday regarding this matter and I believe him to be the real deal and a stand up guy. Nevertheless, vet every seller and do all of these things BEFORE sending any seller a dime: 1) Ask for additional specific photos as proof of life (like a Post-it note with today's date next to the gun's serial number). 2) Ask to see an unredacted copy of the ATF Form 3 or 4. 3) Speak with the seller on the phone. 4) Offer to fly, drive or meet the seller to see the gun in person. If the seller balks or refuses to provide said requested info above then walk away! Also, I like sending bank cashier's checks rather than wiring money. A stop payment can be put on a bank check but once the money is wired - IT IS GONE! You are not getting it back! This matter was also called to the attention of Sturmgewehr Board Supervisor David Albert who also vetted Marty. David suggested that I post this here. David -- thank you and WATCH OUT GUYS - these scammers are out there!!! Edited March 27, 2023 by maxfaxdude Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5T1K1054 Posted March 26, 2023 Report Share Posted March 26, 2023 (edited) Thanks maxfaxdude- Y'all, if you are buying from me, I'm happy to prove to your satisfaction that I have what I say and will follow through on my word. Case in point, Maxfax dude was No.2 to say he wanted it, but I followed board etiquette and sold to the first buyer. That buyer reached out after this to ask for a proof of life pic. Too easy- he had it as soon as I got home. He had a pic of the 28 and something we discussed on a previous call, but I did not publicly disclose to others so the scammer couldn't have replicated it. Suffice to say, he's satisfied. To add on to maxfaxdude's account, Dane Ramsey (daneramsey@aol.com) replied to my AR18 ad that he would take it. We went back and forth a few times. He never called even after I gave him my contact info in an email. He asked if it was OK to overnight the funds (without speaking to me- Seriously who would do that???) He kept asking for my FFL and SOT. Joke's on him at this point. That's the one thing I can't produce BECAUSE I DON"T HAVE ONE!!! Now he's gone in the wind. I'm sure it's the same guy working both sides of the fence. Edited March 26, 2023 by 5T1K1054 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uzi_does_it Posted May 2, 2023 Report Share Posted May 2, 2023 PLEASE REPORT USER s1gran TO SITE MODS. User replied to my WTB post and when I asked for his info to verify, he provided me with a copy of “his” FFL and photo of “his” drivers license. He’s using the name and FFL license of Jon Caviola who runs Eastwoods Arms in Connecticut and the email addresses jon.caviola@yahoo.com and anducnurjvepax@hotmail.com along with the phone number (719) 315-0964. I reached out to the actual Jon Caviola via the contact info posted on the Eastwoods Arms site and he confirmed that this is a scam and that someone’s been using using his name + FFL to steal money from users on various forums.

Bill in Bama Posted May 18, 2023 Report Share Posted May 18, 2023 I was scammed by a hacker on some MP40 parts, out $500. I thought I was dealing with hunterarmsllc1@gmail.com, sent the money via PayPal, and realized 3 days later it wasn't legit. The money went to Marque Finister @bignutz004, so add him to the list. I then got an email from someone offering an FBP bolt/recoil assembly for below market, did a lot of back and forth, he sent me copies of his ID, C&R license, etc. but I asked for a phone call. Got a call from Idaho but his ID showed MA address. The accent was so thick I couldn't understand much at all (middle eastern) so I hung up. collectorcouture@gmail.com is the email he's using but the photo on the ID's doesn't match his accent. Thomas M. Couture is the name, but it's likely legit and all the ID has been stolen. THIRD one, in searching for a good S&W 76 I found the site JCS gun shop in Iowa City, really nice looking website, but all their transferrable guns are well below market price, and they offer a 30% discount for crypto payment, and 10% off for PayPal F&F. A quick search shows lots of complaints, so it has to be a scam too. The title on the HTML is murdocksguns.com. Add 'em to the list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gun Bunker Posted July 27, 2023 Report Share Posted July 27, 2023 Booger117 has a Vector Uzi and 22 kit forsale on here. The 22 kit photos are from a 3 month old gunbroker.com listing from user booger740. He has the city and state of Jim Thorpe, PA listed on here and matches gunbroker user name address but the name and address to send payment to is Hunt Jonathan Eric (odd) 497 Lucy ST Akron, Ohio 44306 That property is valued at less than $40,000. Also odd, definitely a rough part of town. The phone number he texted me on is a 224-541-0823 which is an Illinois area code. Toneitup confirmed that’s a fraudulent number as well. Not adding up. I asked him to send me a picture of the back of the bolt to confirm he’s actually in possession of the 22 kit. Only wants paypal or Money order. No certified check.

spall Posted May 1 Report Share Posted May 1 (edited) Scam account: User: carzywills email: carzywills869@gmail.com phone: (682) 529-0056 Replied to my WTB post for a 1928A1 lower frame, sent me a photo of a Philly Ord dummy receiver in the serial range I was looking for (for the lower). When I said that wasn't what I was looking for, he sent photos of Savage 28A1 lower S-239466, which was posted on machinegunboards back in 2017. I asked to chat on the phone, he questioned why, and I said that I wanted to discuss where he got the parts, etc. I jokingly mentioned that I like to ensure the person I intend to send money doesn't have a heavy Nigerian accent. He eventually called me, call came from a TX number that Google/ATT flagged as potential scam/spam (682) 529-0056, and the Sturm account is supposedly in Knoxville, TN. There was obvious delay in the audio, and he was trying to mask his very heavy African accent. Couldn't answer any questions (utterly clueless), said he had the stuff for three years. I hung up, he sent me a text stating he inherited it from his late grandfather. Suuure. If the other dozen red flags didn't give it away... odd combo to have (custom engraved AO serialized dummy receiver and a random mismatched Savage lower.)

grn_zx6r Posted July 20 Report Share Posted July 20 I engaged with user 22eley via PM about his suppressor for sale (Tactical Solutions Axiom) We agreed to go through with the sale and I posted in his ad that I would take it. A few minutes after posted in his ad user thm87 PMd me, the title of his PM was the name of the suppressor and he asked for my phone number. I didn't catch it at first because I had been going back and fourth with 22eley so I responded with my phone number thinking it was him. thm87 then text me from (859)440-8338 pretending to be 22eley asking for FFL/SOT info. I had realized it was a scam and told him to kindly go f himself. Just a heads up to others. I PMd staff about him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
