I'm sure this isn't news to any of you guys. But Armslist is full of shit.
So let me tell you a story. I was looking for an optic( can you believe that) so I dropped into Old Armslist, typed in Nightforce on a search ,got rid of vendors and started looking.
Out of the five ads that I replied to ,5 were scams... To the same fucking guy. Unbelievable. The ads totally looked legit maybe he copied and pasted somebody else's add that's all I could think of .Not like the old days when you could absolutely tell the person that was trying to scam you wasn't for the United States by the verbiage of the ad." This scope be very good to shoot through nice Bang Bang shoot straight"
When I text messaged the jackalope he almost sounded legit but wouldn't accept a safe form of payment. That's when my alarm Bells clanging. This was for Nightforce Beast(he was asking real money for it not a unbearable deal)I asked him how was the eye box. He told me it was in great shape no scratches looks brand new. Then I asked him what kind of weapon he used it on, he told me an AK-47. Needless to say at this point I had to fuck with him a bit. I've spent a little time in Somalia and Nigeria, so I started speaking to him in Somali and I guess he didn't realize that he lapsed into Somali... After about three questions of that I informed him that he was speaking Somali that was his last contact with me.
Now I'm not saying every ad on Armslist is fake hell I've advertised on their myself. I'm just saying be very careful I'd hate to see any of you SOB's getting screwed... Well most of you SOB's
I know you grumpy old bastards are going to start pumping out you should only buy on snipers hide so save it I know that. I'm the guy that touches the hot stove over and over and over again
