They don't give you any detailed information on the guns condition. Or any close up pictures of the actual gun you'd be buying. Those are big red flags for me. And calling it a "truck gun" sounds like a synonym for "fixer upper" or "beater" or "handyman's dream".
Note that the NRA definitions of condition are:
New, Perfect, Excellent, Very Good, Good, Fair and Poor.
So, if they're referring to these NRA standards, the gun they are selling is closer to the bottom than the top. "Good" equates to "60-80% condition" in the Blue Book of Gun Values. If they're NOT referring to these standards and just making things up as they go along, that would be a red flag in and of itself.
For a little over $100 more, you can get a new gun and I would recommend that, unless your heart is set on this one. I have bought many used guns myself, and been very happy with every one of them. However, I don't buy used guns based on Bubba's personal declaration that "Hey, this is a mighty fine gun!"
Buyer beware!
