    Exclamation Where to purchase 1891 Argentine low safety for bolt (SCAM)

    I asked where to purchase a low safety for my 1891 Argentineicon mauser rifle bolt. I was directed to Gene Morgan, genem365@gmail.com by Chris Holliday, holli2580@gmail.com. that Gene has one for sale for $50.00 he would part with. Gene stated that I could send him a m.o. for that amount, but to send it to his wife, Bridgette Barber at 2106 Powder Mist Lane, Katy, Texas. 77449, which i did. That was back in November of 2019. After many e-mails between Gene and Chris and many snail mails to Bridgette, all with no response, I would like to report them all as fraudulent listings and advise to not have any further dealings with these crooks. Jim London.

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping.  In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail.  I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!).  CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping. Manufacturer of various vintage rifle scopes for the 1903 such as our M73G4 (reproduction of the Weaver 330C) and Malcolm 8X Gen II (Unertl reproduction). Several of our scopes are used in the CMP Vintage Sniper competition on top of 1903 rifles. Brian Dick ...

    Hello Jim.

    We have no current member with the name Chris Holliday or any member with the email address holli2580@gmail.com.

    We have no current member with the name Gene Morgan using the email address genem365@gmail.com, however, there was a member Jubee787 using the same email address genem365@gmail.com who joined on November 16th, 2019 and was BANNED from our site on November 18th, 2019. Reason - Potentially Fraudulent Trading Behavior

    Refer to this thread.

    Jubee787-Banned on November 18th, 2019 (click here)

    I think it's possibly another bait and switch scam, plus there seems that some of these folks are working together to cross-sell items by mutually referring to each other's email adresses.

    Note: We do not allow re-direction selling using outside email addresses on our site via PM (Private Message), only direct sales from our WTS/WTB/WTT classifieds area.

    Jim, what was the user name of the member from our site who referred you to a Gene Morgan since we have no member Chris Holliday at email address holli2580@gmail.com?

    Regards,
    Doug
