Guns Ammo Shop Scam

[Castaway]

Beware! For a while now I’ve been wanting a Rolling Block, the only decision was between 32-40 and 38-55. Saturday, a friend called, excited to tell me he’d found one in 32-40 at a price to good to be true. About 20 pics of a fine looking rifle with a stated good bore. I called then and after no answer I saw they were closed on weekends (1). This morning, I looked at my recent calls so I could just hit the number without going to their page. Couldn’t find an Oklahoma number but one from California instead (2). I then typed the number in Safari and it came back as associated with a scam (3). Typing in the address on Google maps gave me an address next to a residential area (4). Beware.

Where are they allegedly located?

[Castaway]

They advertise their store in Oklahoma City and use an address that is residential

In 2023 with even the price of eggs is crazy, too good to be true is a dead giveaway to a scam.

Back in the old days we had plenty of "Mom and Pop" FFLs running gun stores out of their homes. But then I think ATF changed the FFL rules and killed that.

I'd definitely be highly suspicious of any so called store or shop with the characteristics you describe.

It's probably still do able, but with a nice big hassle to go along with it.
Even so, there's no excuse for giving a false address a few states away.

We probably could use a sticky on false ammo/supply sites as they seem to multiply like well you know ''voters''

Run the website address thru www.scamadvisor.com and see if any red flags come up. Ignore the one about the registrar info being hidden, everybody does that.
