is he serious??

I'm giving BP shooting up after a few years as I have no time to actually get to the range when it's open for BP ... went off today to sell my last BP pistol to an RFD who was going to hold for a guy waiting for a variation. All arranged by emails and phone calls, I'll be there late morning I says.

Got there, no RFD .. he's up country for a few days .. this guy who's waiting on the variation asks can I leave it there having seen a photocopy of the RFD's licence, and the RFD can sort when he gets back. Guess what I said? Two words. First word starts with F and rhymes with mallard, second word 'off'.

Some people. I didn't mind the 70 mile round trip and waste of 2 hours at all.

Give us a name. That way everyone can avoid getting caught out as well.

I have always gone out of my way to make sure people regret reneging on an arrangement.

[LeeH]

it's no-one on here .. I can't see what would be achieved by naming anyone. Once the gun's sold to the dogsar$e it might be different .. his money's as good as anyone else's even if his manners aren't.

changed my mind and sent him this email ...

"To be honest I don’t appreciate being patronised so obviously. I wouldn’t call a 70 mile round trip to have my time wasted by you ‘little’, particularly since I changed my arrangements to accommodate you. Nor did I appreciate your embarrassing attempt to give me £10 less than the price we’d agreed – a genuine mistake? I don’t think so. Thirdly, as you clearly don’t have legal authority to acquire or possess a black powder revolver and you knew the RFD wouldn’t be there in person, you basically invited me to break the law by accepting a payment and leaving the pistol with you. I don’t appreciate that either. You might not be clear on the letter of the law, but I am.

To this end, the pistol is no longer available. I wish you luck in your search for a suitable BP pistol."

I'd rather hand the gun in for destruction than deal with this idiot.

came late to this thread...sounds extremely annoying at the least and borderline criminal at worst...

Having said that - I am looking to get into BP - if the revolver is still for sale, can you tell me more about it?

I have a slot for A .44 BP

cheers!
will pm with my email

Well done for not being tricked. It is annoying to waste time and travel a long distance wasting money on fuel costs. The important thing is that you did it right. You kept your gun and you keep your FAC. That's a brilliant outcome. Congratulations.
