Oh lawdy!

What mosin did you trade him for what three guns!?

Thats what I was thinking too. How the hell was a Mosin an equal trade for 3 new guns? Even high points would be worth more than a mosin (assuming there was 3 high points)

So either thats one pimped out mosin or the other party is a retard and OP should just be happy he found a sucker lol

I got a Remington a303
A Remington model 10 auto loader
And a Smith&Wesson sdv.40 with three mags
And a arisaka type 99 in .300 savage forgot about that one ...... Too many guns

For a Moisin????
A rifle you could get at Big 5 for $90?!

Is this some crazy divorce case?

[kblack583]

Sell the rifle and offer to forward the proceeds? Could alleviate the hassle of transferring while still not stiffing the guy even though he was responsible to complete the transaction in the first place.

A middle ground of responsibility (his) vs. consideration (yours), I guess.

This is what I ould do.

Thanks guys it's been quite some time already happened about a month ago I'll hold em a lil longer I guess

I'd send him a registered letter saying come get it within 30 dys or else I'm selling it to somebody else.

He should get something, either money or somehow the rifle however that would work. You got his 3 items so he shouldn't end up with nothing. Could be an honest mistake or lack of knowledge on his part. Tuck the rifle away in your safe or garage and just forget about it for awhile. Luck would have it the day you sell it to someone else or shoot it and it breaks he'll contact you out of the blue.

Yea, I think you gotta wait a bit longer than 30 days. Like maybe a year.

[drifts1]

If the FFL returned it to you then there is nothing to wait for, its legally yours. Anything you offer to do for the guy is out of courtesy on your part. You fulfilled your part of the deal. There is no moral conundrum here, just you willing to be extra nice.

Turns out he's a fellow calgunner .. Lolz he must have seen this post cause he just hit me up .. Thank the gun gods ... And thanks to all you guys for the input

Guys. He took care of it......

And I thought if you had possession of someone else's firearm it became yours to dros after 30 days..... Or something to that effect

Damn you made out like a bandit for a bubba'd mosin.

I had something similar happen a few years ago. I sold a gun to someone in SoCal, they sent funds via paypal and promised to come up the following weekend.

They then vanished.

I figured that since I had the cash that the gun could continue living in my safe.

The person did get back to me almost 2 years later to arrange pickup. The transaction went smoothly after that.

I had almost the same situation happen to me. A friend wanted to buy my good old trusty 92FS. I hadn't taken it out for months and so I figured heck what are friends for. So I sold it to him. His DROS was denied. Here's where the problem started. He lives 200 miles north of me. I only travel up there once or twice a year so needless to say the 92 sat there in the LGS for a while. After talking to the guys on the phone they informed me that they'd have to DROS it back to me after a fee and 10 days I'd get it back. So I had to make two trips spend a few $$$ and the 92 is back home again. My friend and I did work out a deal to return part of his money minus the cost of fuel. All and all it was a good lesson. I did have the old trusty 92 Cerekoted and now it goes with me to the range every time.
