so I found a handgun I was interested in at a price I like G17 gen 4 on a local forum to me,
but the seller did not have the original box,or the back straps, or the 3 mags gust the gun, he also is on the opposite side of the state them me but said he was going to be in my area this weekend,
so I was going to do this but I also asked him if he was the original owner/buyer he said no he traded for it, OK so I asked him if he could give me the SN# before he came down to meet up so I can maybe have the SN# checked out to ensure this is a clean gun, he replied NO I dont give out the SN# , I did not feel good about this and backed out of the deal !!
1, Not original buyer
2. Traded into it unknown past
3. No factory box or factory stuff that came in box
4. Refused to give me the SN# before we meet up on a gun I was going to buy ?
What say you guys am I just paranoid ? something did not feel right to me so I backed out
I normally am good with private gun sales but for some reason this on kind of felt strange ?
would you all of made the deal or questioned the guns history first as well ?
