At least gunbroker is verified. I don't know about a listing on a classified where there is no forum for comments about the seller like on armslist. That's what worries me.

Re: Craiglist Guns?
I've used it. I found deals on ammo, accessories, and gear. I sold a .22 there. Like you said "craigslist of guns." just make sure you do deals face to face and you'll be fine.

Re: Craiglist Guns?
I was on Craigslist a few months ago and decided to search for "Barrett". I looked under the city of Austin. Low and behold someone was selling a Barrett .50 cal and even had a pic. I just laughed. I figured it was the Feds looking for some "buyers".

Re: Craiglist Guns?
I sold a 7.62x39 colt upper on a stag lower... nice, but very basic gun for 950, a cheap off brand scope and burris rings for 150, a basic 14.5" bushmaster upper for 600, 2 magpul mags and 200 rounds of m193 to a guy this past weekend for 1800 bucks!
Like someone said earlier... do deals face to face, and talk to people on the phone. There are some nice people out there.

Re: Craiglist Guns?
For local sales check out backpages, it really depends on your location but the one for AZ has some decent deals.

Re: Craiglist Guns?
It's amazing the prices people will put on there for their shit. And they love using words like "tactical" to sell crap ha
But, there are the occasional good deals to be had. But like it's been said, always stick to FTF.

Re: Craiglist Guns?
I put up a post, and it said it would appear in a few minutes. It isn't up.
I noticed that the newest posts are 3 days old. Maybe the site owner moderates all posts and is 3 days behind?
The site seems interesting- I would like to be able to buy guns on Craigslist. I bought furniture there, I've bought appliances, and an air compressor- and to me I don't see any reason but liberal stupidity that CL removes guns listed on its site.
I also loved the Craigslook site and it's craigslist nationwide search function- that turned CL into a powerful searchable site like EBAY- but CL owners sued and had Craigslook put down. Now search tempest is the only search tool for CL, and it is crap compared to craigslook which was awesome.
