GunBroker listing, Huh????

[Cheesewhiz]

Seen some odd stuff before but some times I just wonder who would send these people their hard earned money.

... I won't even discuss the BNP listed.

LOL!!!!

I don't remember my M16 having a shiny barrel on it.

 

[WAYNO]

That's one of them special-order long eye relief carry candles.

 

[blume357]

Had to go back and look... I wonder if they put the carry handle on backwards on purpose just to see if anyone is paying attention.

 

[smoke-eater]

I've never even handled an M-16 or an AR, but I noticed that instantly!

 

[exavid]

Must be a left handed version.

 

[GetGunz]

Is that the near sighted or far sighted version :roll:

 

[contender]

It's the Hussain version.

Oh wait,, it can't be the Hussain version,,, the barrel is still pointing away from the stock.

This is from the original add

"The rear sight is a Rock River removable easy adjusting carry handle and I finished it off with a Bushmaster stock. I picked it up and put it to my shoulder. WOW! It pointed right where I wanted and the sight alignment was perfect. Easy to see through the rear peep for my old tired eyes."


Then he added this

"Please forgive me. I installed the rear sight carry handle backwards and have received numerous emails pointing out my error. I thank you very much. I have taken additional pictures and will post them as soon as I can. Some of the comments were mean and other were helpful. For someone my age, I do very well except with rear sights on ARs. LOL Keep bidding and have a great day. Thanks again to all."

So who sent him the mean comments ?

 

[Cheesewhiz]

Well I can tell you it wasn't me. I didn't go that deep. I saw the picture in the listing and just, after a good laugh, thought if a guy can't manage to install a carry handle properly onto a gun he's selling, is he capable of getting it packed up for safe travels to anyone that would win the auction. After you digging deeper I feel a little sorry for the old guy, I do really like good gun people.

That is funny; and, it's a $500 parts gun.

 

[blume357]

That's what I would be worried about too.... if he can't get the carry handle with sights on properly and he's bragging he built this himself? Oh and it pointed perfectly with it on like that? I'm wondering if he's ever shot a gun let alone an AR.....

 

[exavid]

No matter what the condition of the rifle is in he should have sold it in October.

 

[bobski]
