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 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.

I don’t reply to WTB anymore even if I have what they want.Most of them are want for free they offer some ridiculous low price less than half what the items is worth

Good luck with that.

If someone does NOT have a couple of hundred posts, I will not respond!

Thanks to a member named Harry, I have learned to be careful on this site.

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