I'm confused. In the first post, "the revolver is local" later on, we learn it's in South Carolina. So where is it?
Other things don't add up as well. Even after blowing up the picture, I do not see a barrel pin. But it is a 5 screw. Where is the pin? Where is the hole for the pin?
We know the stocks and cylinder aren't original. The stocks, ok, but what went wrong with the cylinder? Then to top it off, the guy sounds like he is willing to ... uh ... skirt the law. Too many questions / red flags for me.
I guess this is all moot if your FFL will not receive it! Maybe it's for the best.

Me speaking only for me, I'd forget the whole thing. And I might well be in the minority, but I wouldn't be more than mildly interested in it at $500 even absent the delivery problems.

Sounds fishy to me.

It appeared that way to the OP because the add was placed in a local add in CALIFORNIA yet the SELLER later told him, he is from South Carolina LOL. Its one of those send me money scams and I'll send the gun to your locate. Those are quite popular. Especially on ARMSLIST

With the additional information (and pictures) I retract the above statement. Something this fishy is not worth $500 or even $50. Not if the deal is in violation of Federal Law.

When they start stacking all that old scrap iron out on your driveway-
You may have second thoughts ,
Just like with this so called old '29'.

For those that are worried that he is willing to send it to anyone that is not an FFL, I wouldn't fret about that. I'd bet my paycheck he doesn't even own the gun. If you buy it you won't be receiving anything. Classic scam.

Yes indeed. I do have what I call the boneyard on the back of the property. There is room for it between the 8N and 53 international. Its only the sincerity of delivery that I have doubts about.

Funny you should mention a Ford 8n.
A guy down the street from me has one in his garage.
One day he was in his yard with the garage door up.
So I stop, roll down the window and yell,
Can I borrow that tractor?
He looks at me kind of funny.
I continue, you do have a Bush Hog?
He replies, no Bush Hog.
That is so weak!
I got weak folks living in my neighborhood.

Maybe the pistol is a put together, barrel from one gun, cylinder from another. Could be they welded the barrel pin, the metal looks a little discolored. Wouldn't touch it with a 10 foot pole.

DANGER AS OTHERS HAVE SAID EITHER THIS IS A SCAM OR AT BEST A DEAL THAT MAY BE ILLEGAL .
