Tom Bowers said it best when he couldn`t get any responses after posting $17K for his M1A1 last month..."Once I got my head out of my ass...." he lowered the price and sold it....

"Payment in full via wire transfer only at the close of auction. "NO EXCEPTIONS" "
I love how demanding these people are also..... You think you could wait for a check to clear at 30K, not like the gun is going anywhere soon..... Forgot to add the 50 buck shipping and handling charges though....

I love that he wants that much for a 15K weapon and doesn't even show one photo.
Sounds fishy to me
And the same blog on another NFA weapon he's asking too much for...
"30caliber Browning 1919A4 on tripod Transferable " $35,000.00
" H&K SP-89 Fleming/Andrewski sear Transferable " $25,000.00
A freaking made up sear gun for 25K?? This guy is insane!!!.....and no pictures...
Yeah ....right...
Sounds fishy to me

What makes it worse - he bought it NEW a while back. That means it has to be a Westie, right? Transferrable, but probably not C&R.

If you notice all his guns say "test fired very little", yet this guy has more ammo then Mike Dillon! Pallets of all kinds of ammo!

All Westie M-1's are c&r but at that price it better be made of something more precious than steel.

Did you notice that all his auctions have '0' bids? Anyone want to bother sending the guy a note and ask what planet he's from?

The dude just has his ads for 2010 posted now. Sort of like the Christmas decorations and gift wrap that are already up at my local drugstore.
