receiver and lever on ebay 290660001023

That will be pulled in short order, I bet.
Even worse than violating eBay rules, it SEEMS the seller is intending to ship this firearm to a private individual, out of State. The BATF will NOT like that. -TomT

Yes, here is an example where posting a live auction sure isn't going to spoil anyone's chances. It will be pulled long before auction end. I really don't like Ebay

actually.... ebay has changed the anti-gun policy... major gun parts have been sold on ebay for several weeks now.

why anyone feels the need to tell the campfire collectors what is listed on ebay is beside me.

there are also several sets of sights
stocks,
a lever
a rotor
a bolt
a firepin
a set of stiths
more sights
more stocks
some replicated stocks

should we list every item that relates to a Savage gun that is for sale on ebay and GB??? Or just the ones that some random person thinks other ppl may or may not find interesting?????


Of Course now I am beating a dead horse...

Given that receiver is an actual firearm and requires a regular or C&R FFL, I would be very surprised to hear that it fits within Ebay's allowable policies.

agreed, but they may not even realize what constitutes a firearm exactly, and what does not. They let an entire Savage 340 through a few weeks ago. Not sure there is any legal reason that it should matter, I assumes its simply a matter of liability. They might have even started allowing full gun sales, I have not read the actual policy change. It is the buyer and sellers responsibility to ensure that each is following the BATF rules as far as I know.

Ken,

not a huge deal, its just gets really old... if ever person on the fire posted every savage related item they thought someone else might be interested in on the fire... this was just be a regurgitated auction site. Trust me, if you can find it on Ebay, so can 90% of the other members here with little to no issue.

Other's would also say that maybe you ARE bringing to light something that they were already interested in and do want any added competition you might be facilitating. Hence the request by many that others not post live auctions.

policy info here:

this auction is outside of Ebay policy. Though do now allow for the selling of barrels, firing pins, hammers, and a few other things that were previously banned.

This has been discussed many times on this forum. I agree listing live auctions is a general no no, as it only serves to potentially drive the price of an item up. That's a good thing for a seller, but not a buyer that spends time searching, and watching auctions sites. That said, while it might be "poor form", it certainly IS NOT illegal by any means.
I do think the exception should be when an item is a outright misrepresentation, ridiculously priced (ie: $2,000 old, empty ammo box), or as in this case, an item listed on a site that has historically forbid firearm sales (don't know about eBay changing it's rules).
That said, this is still America (for now), and we all know what they say about opinions. -TomT

All that said (and I agree wholeheartedly), now that the cat is out of the bag that wouldn't be a bad price for a decent 1899 action if one got it for that, as the basis for a custom gun project. You'll spend more for a decent Mauser bolt action suitable for customizing. If I didn't have enough irons in the fire I would consider sending the seller a private message offering to buy it through legal channels if/when eBay yanks the carpet out from under him.

eBay has no liability in allowing the selling of firearms through their site, just as gunbroker has none. The liability is going to be on the seller and buyer. Same with Paypal. The reason they don't allow it is simply because they are anti-gun.

Regardless there are at least 4 receivers (3 not 99) up for auction presently. Probably more as I passed by those 4 just searching Savage. Could it be another obama ATF conspiracy?

I think its a ATF Trap, Buy it and go to Jail!

Wouldn't be a trap if one insisted on sticking to legal means of transferring ownership. If the seller insisted on circumventing the legalities, then I would smell a trap (but then it would be entrapment, no?).

It is C&R eligible so that makes it a little easier for some folks.

Is the owner claiming it to be from a solid frame 22 HP then?

I used to message Savage parts sellers to see if they still had the receiver. If they did and were willing I'd send them my FFL and a few bucks for their receiver. Those were the ones educated enough to know that receiver equals firearm. Oh, BTW Gary, entrapment is legal according to the Supremes. But then, Scotch goes on!

ebay used to sell guns, to many lawsuits. they quit, the only reason I posted, I thought maybe someone on here could use it for a parts gun, I guess its my bad.

Not bad. Caveat emptor. "Stupid is as stupid does."

Ken,

not a huge deal, its just gets really old...


I'd have to disagree. Seems some of the most post items here are kept going by the ones to cry this is a collector forum. You guys live for it or you wouldn't be here 24 hours.

Oh, Mr Happy is back.
