I've bought a ton of things off of the EE here and other well establish places over the years. It was usually a bit harder for scammers as we didn't always have shit like Zelle or Venmo (by the way, never never never buy anything from anyone who ONLY takes zelle, cashapp or venmo as that is a 99.757% sign of you getting fucked) that doesn't have any form of protection on them, and generally it was something like paypal or a check or whatever.

Since then other places have popped up online that are used often, but also have their share of scammers, just like SH has.

So what do you do?

Other than the usual things like, buy from people who have been on the site a good amount of time and have feedback, you also reverse search the images they use and if anything ever seems off or too good to be true, it is.

I have now reached a new level in this game. You want to sell me something and I don't know you? Ok...send me a picture of the item, with a note with your screen name on it as well as a tube of toothpaste and a can of soup in the same picture. Don't have soup? Take your shoe off and put it in the picture.

Ever since doing this, I've had people make all sorts of excuses as to how 'their friend isnt sure he wants to sell this anymore' or whatever bullshit.

I think we need to start a picture thread of the shit you managed to get as a verification picture.

My most recent example off of TacSwap. Guy was selling an item he said he had 3 of. Had a picture of 2 of them in the ad. I respond and say I want 1. No problem. We talk about payment. Here's how that went:


Me: Ill take the 1 then. whats your paypal? and could you please send me a picture of one of the units with its box and include your screen name on the note as well as put a coffee mug and a dish sponge in the pic? Thanks

Him: My friends being kinda lame. Says he only wants to sell if it’s all 3





Wait...so all of a sudden its your friend who is selling this, and now I cant buy just the 1 we already agreed to? Yeah..I don't believe you.

Is it safe to guess that the contractor that took the tik-tok video won't likely be invited back.

Any thoughts on what this is?

Home intruder attacked and killed by Georgia homeowner's dogs​

I have ATACR 1-8 , there is a screw on the magnification ring , i just checked to make it sure it was tight but it snapped ! The tread is tightened down and nothing is loose . Is this anything to worry about or should i return it ?

bare in mind that I live in the UK so If I send it back, I will probably be waiting for months for a replacement from nightforce so if it’s not going to effect anything I would rather just leave it

So I noticed something this evening while I was replacing my factory rem 700 trigger with a TT primary.

First off I have 3 rem 700's that all wear different triggers (factory, timney, TT)

Today while replacing the factory trigger with the TT primary, I was dry firing and adjusting. I noticed when I opened the bolt, but DID NOT slide it back, the firing pin would cock but would fall if I closed the bolt. If I opened the bolt and slid it back maybe 1/16 " or so I heard a slight "click" and then closed the bolt, the firing pin would stay cocked.

So I tried my other 700's. Both of my other 2, the firing pin would stay cocked if I lifted the bolt and closed it without sliding the bolt back. Very odd. Not sure if it's a problem but I do want to hear if this is normal? I never noticed before but I'm awfully curious now.

I have a used, good condition XLR Envy to sell for a 700, SA. The previous owner drilled/tapped the chassis for the XLR thumbrest. Asking $450 shipped, if you have any questions let me know. Thanks

I am looking for recommendations/confirmation on a purchase of a .308/6.5 Creedmoor that I can easily change out the barrel. Prioritizing an excellent .308 battle rifle that will hold up after 1000s of rounds. Also, excellent precision when is switch to 6.5 Creedmoor. Besides the rifle, also looking for recommendations on a scope? Thanks for the help.

Great.... Now we have to Worry about Ninjas...........

I travel up and down the west coast working. Over the last month or so Ive noticed at least a dozen Banks that have shut their doors. Ive asked some friends and they have confirmed that they've been noticing the same thing. Anyone else seeing this? What do you think is up with this. Kinda alarming. Is this the slow burn Greece????

I had a pretty bad crash last weekend and shattered my collar bone, broke a few ribs, bruised my lungs and had a concussion that knocked me out for 25 minutes. I want to get ready for deer hunting but cant shoot or practice my normal right handed way. Should I try to work on left handed shooting or wait and see if I get healed enough by November. I can't see a downside to practicing lefty, but I am low on ammo and don't know if I will be able to resupply. The way I see it, I am limited to left handed dry firing. Can't do much positional stuff either. Anyone had a similar situation have some advice? Any advice for healing quicker for the collar bone? Exercises or stretching that will help speed up recovery? I have very little experience shooting lefty other than a few match stages... didn't do well.... Doc took me out of work for 5 weeks, so I have time on my hands.

Got a new barrel. Shot fine, until I tried to extract an unfired round. It was jammed! It took me a bit to figure it out. But the bullet is getting jammed and sticking the round.


As you can see the round is rubbing pretty bad. These are factory rounds in a barrel with 2 trips to the range to break it in. I have emailed the barrel manufacture and am waiting for a reply. I'll see if they remedy the situation before I flame them but I will say I don't have faith that they even know what they are doing at this point based on past interactions.

$1000, with box, sunshade, papers. Excellent condition!

I have 2 sealed 500 round boxes, 1 partial 500 with 410
and a partial 100 count with 66 remaining.

(Same lot) 500 box - $520 shipped for both
410 box - $208 shipped
66 box - $40 shipped

Looks like the new rollmark will be Maryville TN.

MA was trying to force them not to sell ARs commercially - ANYWHERE.

Kind of funny as MA SP carries both S&W pistols and ARs.

"For me but not for thee"

Wonder if they will hire fired cops.....

Rifle: CZ 457 AT-One
With: 419 50 MOA Rail

Usage: Maximum range 500 yards, letting kids shoot with it, plinking at local 200 yard range

Wants: Zero stop, 6-24x, 50 yard Zero, Illumination,

Needs: 50 yard Zero with 50moa rail

Doesn't have to be the biggest baddest scope around. This is a "play around" rimfire build.

Since short-barrel AR-pistols with folding stocks that can fit comfortably in a back-pack is all the rage nowadays; it has me pining for a compact bolt-action that could fit in a largish pack. There's a thread around here with shortish-barreled guns (bunch of 16s and 18s), but has anyone gone all the way with a folding stock and a discrete bag/pack to carry it in?

Pics or it didn't happen.

I have 7 boxes of 100 and it’s all or nothing, 5 boxes of them are pointed, the other two are not.

$305.00 shipped for all

paypal F&F or pay the fees.

Gun Maker Smith & Wesson to Move Headquarters to Tennessee -- Update
Gun maker Smith & Wesson Brands Inc.(SWBI) is moving its corporate headquarters from Massachusetts to Tennessee, joining other firearms manufacturers that have moved from the mid-Atlantic and Northeast to Southern states with less restrictive gun laws.


The company will invest more than $125 million to relocate its headquarters and some operations from Springfield, Mass., where it has been based for generations, to Blount County, Tenn., near Knoxville. It will create 750 jobs in the area, according to the Tennessee Department of Economic & Community Development.


The lower cost of living was a factor in the move, Chief Executive Mark Smith said in a statement. He thanked Republican Gov. Bill Lee and the GOP-dominated legislature "for their unwavering support of the Second Amendment and for creating a welcoming, business-friendly environment."


The company didn't respond to emails seeking further comment.


Springfield Mayor Domenic Sarno said in a statement the city will be losing 550 jobs, which he described as devastating news for the families involved. City officials would work with the company to try to retain about 1,000 remaining jobs, he said.


The company will keep some production in Springfield, according to a person familiar with the move.


Horace Smith and Daniel Wesson founded their company in the 1850s in New England. Smith & Wesson, which eventually was based in Springfield, has made some of the most well-known firearms in American history, including the Smith & Wesson Model 29, known as the .44 Magnum. The company has supplied firearms and other equipment to the military and numerous police departments.


Smith & Wesson plans to break ground on the new headquarters by the end of the year.


The company's announcement comes after a period of record gun sales in the U.S. during the Covid-19 pandemic, widespread civil unrest in 2020 and a surge in violence in many cities.

Just pulled this off my personal rifle. Has about 40 rounds total on the scope. Getting away from Christmas tree reticles with my eyesight. It comes with Nightforce 6 screw rings already torqued to 16in lbs. it has one small blemish on the windage turret from using a coin to take the cap off, which can be seen in the photos. Other than that it's shiny.
$1700.00 shipped and insured with rings and Vortex defender flip caps. Paypal FF or add the 3 percent

I'm new as a full member but I've done multiple purchase deals on the forum. If messages are sent after 8:30pm Texas time they will be responded to the next morning.
Thanks STXleroy

I'm sure some of you have noticed that fly season has officially started. We're doing everything we can think of to kill the commie bastards but they're flooding into our shop like its the southern boarder.

We have sprays, strips, a bucket with soapy water, a bug assault rifle 2.0, fly swatters and a few other gimmicks thats are supposed to help. We've had some success stacking the bodies of our enemies, but they're numbers are to strong for our forces.

I'm willing to bet a jelly sandwich someone here has a little known secret to driving these bastards off!? Any and all help would be appreciated.
