Assume that ANY listing on Armslist is a scam, and prove to yourself through a lot of hard work and diligence that it is not.

I just did a quick search for the gun you are interested in on AL, and found one for $1000. I then found the exact same gun, same pictures, description, etc. on GB, currently at $2225. So obviously a scammer copied the GB listing and placed it on AL, trying to lure people with a really cheap price. For many specific guns, you will see this ALL the time. I found this scam in about 1 minute.
