    HK deal

    Did that guy who was promising people $1200 HK417 rifles with NV and ACOGs like a year ago on FnH ever deliver, or was that as unlikely to happen as I assumed it was?

    Didnt see it but NV and 1200 dollars just doesn't sound right especially with a rifle thrown in.

    I told him I'd buy the balance to make the deal work - no matter what the cost.

    S&Bs, NV etc for the prices - I hope noone was STUPID enough to give the guy any money.
    I think most of us knew from the start he had his hand on it by just led him up the garden path

    He claimed to live up the Waipara gorge, incidentally where I used to live. He described to me where his property was and I was skeptical... (he pretty much described our back paddock)

    thought he met with Robbin Tiffen as a meet and greet person to see who he was without breaking his ID
    That post was on the IMAS forum I think

    Yeah I quizzed him pretty hard on this and he described the area that included our old cattle yards and river flat!
