Tennessee Snuffy Posted May 11, 2020 Share Posted May 11, 2020 Hey folks; I have bust busted by forearm on my Winchester 1897 pump gun. Wood was very dry and spilt so I need a used, abused, new, semi-old or anything in between. The forearm must be a three screw ringed type. Let me know.

The phone number that sucker used to contact "friend" will be a burner phone that is trashed if anyone complains about the transaction. If 4 strikes don't make an out, I'll eat a computer security manual (and those don't taste very good). Good luck, GJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaleWolf Brunelle, #2495L Posted May 13, 2020 Share Posted May 13, 2020 A few more "possible" warning indicators: Phone number search (on various sites) brings up multiple names and/or locations, often tagged as "possible or verified" scam numbers.

I think the gentleman needed to be made aware, not arguing with you. There are plenty of people who are caught unaware and you are doing him a service in telling him why. Thank you for listing the various reasons/warning signs he and probably others here should watch out for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
