I’m looking at a NFA purchase. So many scams! How do I find out if this is a legit outfit? M-16

[rockyfatcat]

machinegunspot.com Has a m-16 variant. https://firearms-texas.com/product/bushmaster-xm15e2-m-16-5-56x45mm-16″/ advertizes the same gun. Are all these web pages all advertizing the same weapon?

If so what outfit should I be dealing with?

Thats definitely not a trusted site. Unless that has the LL in it, it should cost a bit more than that.

Black Friday coupon still works! And Zelle is the safest payment platform there is /s

Very scammish!

There is no protection with zelle! Once you hit send it is gone and nothing you can do!

I'm always amazed that in the "information age" folks fall for amateurish scams online.

BBB Warning: Online retailer, Texas Gunshop, may be taking advantage of those purchasing firearms

One thing you can do, is check whether they're even an FFL, via this page at our favorite peoples' website

Federal Firearms Listings | Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives

www.atf.gov

Another check is to look at their physical location using something like Google Maps. It doesn't guarantee (or prove otherwise) that it's a genuine gun store unless the premises is a nail salon or a MailboxUSA store.

(Although it's funny - one of my FFLs up in CT actually used to transact his business in a MailboxUSA store)

If your going to spend that kind of cash, fly out there and buy it and have it sent to your FFL

Any website that takes only digital money is a scam. Period.
