I have a sweet 16 for sale on GB. some random guy wrote to a former customer of mine who has bought different sweet 16's from me (and others) on gunbroker and elsewhere. He wrote that he noticed my friend was into sweet 16's and he had some to sell, my friend asked for pictures and he sent pictures of the gun I have listed on gunbroker....here is the email chain, it is upside down last one fisrt sent.
Here's the trail of e-mails. As you can see, he e-mailed some other folks with the same offer. Don't respond to this e-mail from me as it might go back to him as well. I will also forward to you the e-mail with pics of the gun. Better not respond to that one either.

Mike,
You will need to identify an FFL holder to whom the gun will be shipped and send me a copy of the FFL along with your payment. The FFL holder is usually your local gun shop; or can be most pawn shops. Bottomline, I can't ship to you, law requires that only the holder of a Federal Firearms License can receive a gun shipment.
The FFL holder will transfer the gun to you. Expect to pay $30-$50 for the transfer.
I accept cashier's check, money order or personal check. The gun ships within 3-days with secure payment. Personal checks have a 10-day waiting period after deposit at my bank before gun shipment.

Hi Larry,
That is a gorgeous gun. Yes, I would be very interested. I'm not very knowledgeable on how to buy a gun over the internet. What do I need to do?
Thanks, Mike

Hi Larry,
I have been looking for a collector grade Sweet 16. I am curious which on-line ad you had seen? Anyway, please e-mail me with what you have. If you could include pictures it would be great. Thanks, Mike

From various on-line postings I have seen that you are interested in buying a Sweet Sixteen. I have a few for sale along with a Light Twenty. Also, I have some Sweet Sixteen barrels for sale.
I'm not interested in wasting your time, so I won't be contacting you again. If you are interested, send me an email and I'll send a listing of what I have. Or, if you prefer,call me on my cell phone.
Best wishes,
Larry Milam
