    Another Scammer Replied to My WTB!

    I posted a WTB for a S&W ejector rod for a 4” barrel.
    Lawrence Jones replied in a email similar poor grammar that he has one and is willing to let it go!
    Total scam and I think it’s the same guy that tried to sell me a Ruger 44 Carbine barrel that he didn’t have!
    Sent pics from a parts supply place that I had seen when I did an online search.

    I quit posting WTB ads on forums because of all the scammers. Be careful.
    I was a dog on a short chain.
    Now there's no chain.

    I don't usually buy things from the forum, but I have considered if I do and the person has a low thread count, I will require the item be sent in advance and then payment will be sent.
    A vote for anyone other then the conservative candidates is a vote for the liberal candidates.

    Good luck with that.

    If someone does NOT have a couple of hundred posts, I will not respond!
    Old enough to know better, young enough to do it anyway!

    Men who don't understand women fall into two categories: bachelors and husbands!

    It's no skin off my back. I haven't seen anything here for quite a while that I cannot live without.
