    Beware of Japanese Collector John Morgan

    In his first notification to me through Gunboards he said I had been recommended by Doss and Don (Shlickman). to restore a Sniper. I did not think he was a friend of thiers but just thought they mentioned me when when he asked about someone restoring a sniper. I agreed to do the work. He sent me a T99 Sniper ser. no 311. I sent the receiver to Don along with the bolt and Don installed the block and fixed a new handle. I sold him a nice stock, inletted it and furnished the correct middle band. When I got through he asked me to send it back over night air and said money was no object, which I did. Since he had paid Don promply for his work I thought nothing of sending the rifle on to him before I got the money. He emailed me that he had sent the money order priority mail that day. A week later I emailed him that the money had not come. He wrote me back "shocked" and said he would cancel that one and send another. Week later I write him that I have not gotten anything - no answer. Wrote again last Sunday night still no answer. Stock, work and air - $432.45. I see now why money was no object. His name is John Morgan and posts on boards as "Ralden". His address is John Morgan, 263 Van Burenville Rd. Middletown, NY 10940. Don't trade with him he's a theif. riceone
