Armslist is the key to disappointment. If you can't do ftf, you better pass.
The Winchester .243 was a local ftf deal. Nice guy. Bought the rifle.
In 10 years I have bought only one armlist item by mail. It was a Sig 970SHR rifle in a rare and hard to find 308 caliber, at a reasonable price. I have not tempted fate by trying another armlist item by mail. Have had a number of listing on Armslist that said they were local, but still wanted to mail me a colt python for $1200. Too busy to meet me at a local FFL's Ha!
