It's a new year, gotta start out by trusting folks. Besides I have the (savage) wrath of the Savage internet gods standing behind me, and I ain't afraid of implying violence (..so long as nobody gets hurt)
. We'll see
You should be fine, I've bought from non-rated sellers before. I just make it a point to talk to them on the phone personally, and have an address that matches their name on some internet lookup site. Most scammers aren't going to use gunbroker, which requires a credit card to verify user, and aren't going to scam for just a $300 firearm.
Glad somebody here got it.
