    Really, is nobody going to tell him? That is like when a guy has a booger hanging from his nose everybody laughs at but nobody will say anything. Someone might at least suggest googling Tactical Rifles and Sniperhide.
     
    I really was trying to avoid the thread shitting label. I do not want to be mean. I feel kind of sorry for the poor guy. I see where this could happen. The ads look so nice and they're in all the magazines.
     
    Not Thread Shitting. Not even close. Just pointing out the obvious to him. Hell, if I had a Booger hanging out my nose I'd wanna know. Wouldn't you? Hell yes you would. Now if he were to come in there and puff up n shit, well, we know how that would fare till the big pad lock went on it. Seriously, I'd wanna know I was "maybe" making a boner move ya know?
     
    He offered it to me in trade for my F&D rifle. I politely informed him and sent a link. He claimed it was "legit"...

    Well good on ya for your restraint AND setting the record straight. Surprised he left it up if'n ya already showed him the error of his way. At 1k I'm pulling the trigger on it, changing my screen name to "soldout", then selling it on gunbroker for $12,500, firm. ;)

    Wow. Worthy of me posting this ...

    The "it's legit" response seems almost like he thinks the question is not about the make of gun but, rather, the question is is this really that great make we've heard so much about? It's legit is not just from the hood, but extra funny it because it can be taken another way.

    Given the context and history here, and my sporadic long memory, for my money this is the comedy gold you're all missing:

    I saw and remembered the same things you did my friend. I'm just not shitting in two threads simultaneously unless properly motivated.

    See, this is either what's called "manners," or evidence of an instinct for survival. I'm thinking that it's the latter, but it might be a bit of both.
     
    The guy just has it on the wrong forum. I bet if he put it on ARF, Gunboards or a ton of other places they'd all pine over 'OMG M40!1!!!!1!111' and all would be well.

    The main thing he needs to do is nuke his listing before it gets picked up somewhere as a new thread about 'some guy is trying to sell a TR rifle on SnipersHide LOL' and it becomes an internet joke.
     
    German, you nailed it. That was the reason I started this thread. The man has my sympathy and I would just hoped he would catch on and correct a unintended internet faux pas. No harm done.
