Buyer beware-Beltfed Fanatic on GB

[Got Uzi]

I purchased an MP5 parts kit off GB from this seller-here’s the description of the lot:

”Factory HK MP5  submachine gun parts kit, full auto pack!”

https://www.gunbroker.com/item/1098427209

Parts arrive and it’s not what they said it was-the receiver parts were HK MP5 but the bolt group was a semi auto MKE bolt group. I called them up and here was the response:

 

“Hello John, I receiver your message from our office manager. After final review of the listing and associated photographs it has been determined that the bolt carrier in the pictures is of the semi auto variant. The listing denotes a full auto trigger pack but not a carrier. the receiver remnant is factory German. The price reflected the kit as is, and would have been more, had this had a full auto carrier. I understand your frustration, yet given the transparency of the listing, and photographs associated, you received everything you purchased. If a full auto carrier is needed we have found them to be available for very little money produced by RCM online. sorry for the apparent misunderstanding, and in the future i would recommend asking questions prior to bidding if you are not entirely sure what is included. Please also respond through Gunbroker for any and all additional question going forward. Our manufacturing Business is not directly involved with online or consignment sales, so this would generate a much faster response. Thankyou, BeltFed Finatic”

 

Talk about a fraud!!! You can barely make out that the carrier was a semi due tot he picture and why would someone even look that close if the listing says “factory HK MP5 submachine gun parts kit” well the parts kit isn’t HK, only part of it is. I’ve already left a negative feed back, as they won’t return a call now, or even pick up and the “much faster response via email” isn’t very fast either. It’s also funny that a quick FFL search shows that the manufacturing facility is a single family house with a detached building, not a big operation like it’s made out to sound like in the email. not impressed by this at all. 
 

Giving people a heads up on this seller.

They owe you a HK factory MP5 bolt/carrier group.

That’s how I see it but the seller doesn’t want to respond now. Left an F rating feedback, posted here, strum and HKPro plus I’ll be filing with GB about it once the window opens for claims against a seller. 

Nothing short of blatant fraud on his part. I honestly think the seller wasn’t expecting someone to know what the buyer was looking at when it arrived….oops I deal in this stuff pal

You should also post this over on the 1919 board. As my guess is that he maybe a member over there if he is truly a "beltfed fanatic". And with the wording on his listing they will cal him out on it if they know who he is.

I’m not a member over on 1919 anymore. His handle on Sturm is “Brennon272”
