Scams come in all forms but the most common I’ve come across are:

• websites with no physical mailing address
• only accepting payment via paypal, bitcoin
• claiming to be able to send you firearms without an FFL (directly to your home)
• invites through telegram, whatsapp to private groups claiming to sell firearms
• instagram pages with stolen media that redirect you off instagram

One way I like to check whether a company is legit is on https://www.reddit.com/r/gundealsFU/. If you don’t see the business in question, wouldn’t hurt to ask around.

As for businesses listed officially by ArmsDirectory, I am confident they have a vetting process and speak to authentic business owners. Check out their Trusted Brands tab for other useful and vetted services.

You have found it to be trustable? That’s good. I have a G3 that’s collecting dust…

[Erik H]

Im not an FFL nor selling myself. But I can possibly help narrow it down your choices.

I would always say yes to more firearms of any kind, since my collection is so smol. As someone kind of new to the world of gun ownership, I would love to be able to visit Shot Show, or a Range Day with my favorite 2A people. Maybe even visit ArmDirectory HQ

What is your price maximum? Does it have to be used? Tell me more

When I typically search for something I can’t find at pawn shops or FFLs I’ll use gun.deals and https://www.wikiarms.com/guns?q=845737008314

Here’s some options from DahlonegaArmory.com I have bought from them before and had no issues.

I am not familiar with that one at all but here’s a few I found. Here’s a used one from guns.com but I’ve never bought from guns.com personally
