PTRS-14.5 Posted March 11, 2016 Report Share Posted March 11, 2016 (edited) I guess he is raising funds for his commissary account in the lock up! I can't imagine anyone would trust him to do a honest transaction... LOL. I'm a bit disappointed to not see any FG 42 mags or parts!

ron_brock Posted March 11, 2016 Report Share Posted March 11, 2016 Quite a few on this Board are looking for vertical fore grips and Colt parts!!! Looks like he's got some if you're interested. If you are, you may want to also check some older posts....YMMV Ron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PTRS-14.5 Posted March 11, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 11, 2016 Tom's parts board... Be very careful with him! He isn't going to be on the outside too long and it's hard to do bsns with someone in Fed Lock up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

full auto 45 Posted March 11, 2016 Report Share Posted March 11, 2016 The listed prices are insane. Why pay $150 for a $25 Blish lock. $150 for a buffer pilot, recoil spring and a recoil pad (about $40 normally). Like Panda said, 2-6 times the going rate on everything.

DLansky Posted March 12, 2016 Report Share Posted March 12, 2016 there were members of the board victimized by Mr. Free. Here is the latest I could find. Based on conversations with the Trustee, I thought that he was to report to prison in early January so it may be a while before orders can be filled. https://www.justice.gov/usao-wdpa/pr/judge-sentences-north-huntingdon-man-convicted-bankruptcy-fraud-two-years-federal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black River Militaria CII Posted March 12, 2016 Report Share Posted March 12, 2016 Been casually acquainted with Free for over twenty-five years or more,first meeting him through mutual friends at Knob Creek. First impression at the time was that he was shifty, inattentive and very self-centered. Tried to do some business with him but long periods of time would go by between communications and prices would get raised, and other annoyances. As many found out who tried to deal with him, gained a very poor reputation, often along the lines of being a thief and liar which seems to be clearly the case as I followed his dealings with the bankruptcy proceedings in PA over several years. He continues to go to KC and continues to advertise as Freed. Clearly a pretty stupid squirrel and not playing with a full deck in my view.........FWIW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DLansky Posted March 12, 2016 Report Share Posted March 12, 2016 (edited) He is now a prohibited possessor. the trustee auctioned of just a few guns to generate proceeds to satisfy his debts. the guns selected for auction though generated more than enough money. the balance of the guns remain his property, although he may not possess them. The trustee thought that the balance of the guns would be transferred to a relative (perhaps a daughter) who was going to take possession. they may or may not come up for sale.

huggytree Posted March 12, 2016 Report Share Posted March 12, 2016 (edited) all he has to do is sell his guns at the going rate and he could unload his whole collection and be a millionaire in a month he has some nice stuff Edited March 13, 2016 by huggytree Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

huggytree Posted March 13, 2016 Report Share Posted March 13, 2016 i would have bought more than 1 and done my part to help him out his troubles!!...ive made him fair offers on more than 1 (of course i was $10k low in his eyes) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnsonlmg41 Posted March 14, 2016 Report Share Posted March 14, 2016 I bought some stuff from him at the last creek, COD only.. It is rather stunning he was even there. He doesn't need the money, it's not about that. I don't know if anyone really knows what it is about.....not even him? The whole thing is rather bizarre. I've found it difficult to communicate with the guy. Friends....or former friends tell me he was not always this way, but no one knows what happened or isn't talking? Sad story really with no happy ending I suspect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

goldglove25 Posted March 14, 2016 Report Share Posted March 14, 2016 A friend of mine won the big auction of his select NFA stuff. I got the chance to hold these pieces. The FGs were awesome!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R67 Posted March 14, 2016 Report Share Posted March 14, 2016 I held an original FG 42 Type G once... I felt like I was in a dream. They sure are heavy on the left side. That was unloaded. They are such light weapons 20 rounds of 8mm would really pull it down on the left side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
