My experience was similar to the above. Sent an EMT for a pricey gun with accessories. Said he would have it shipped that week. Two weeks go by, email him...says it will be shipped in a week or two. Two months go by, says he is trying to find a suitable box, will ship by weekend. This goes on for another 2 months and he would no longer answer my emails. I email him and told him I would have to report it to the firearms officer/RCMP. Still nothing. Two weeks later, still not getting responses to either his phone or emails, I contact my firearms officer who passes it on to the local RCMP. I sent him an email informing him of where things stood.He makes immediate apologetic contact and he explains that he had a new job and a new kid, and was overwhelmed. The next email he calls me a bully. This was after almost 4 months and he has my 4K and my stuff, and wouldn't answer. Well he got it into the mail that week.
He inherited all his Dad's stuff, and has been disposing of it as the executor of the estate. But he is in over his head. His Dad was an honorable vendor who is probably rolling in his grave these past couple years. If you are doing a face to face transaction with him at a gun show, then go for it. His Dad had nice product. But if dealing through the internet/mail, I would suggest you shop elsewhere. The perceived savings are not worth the ulcers.
