To start, I have made many happy purchases via on-line auctions. People have been honest and items as described or better. Feedback, questions, pics and prompt payment w/ FFl info seem to be the key.

I believe there is a process where you could go to his FFL, purchase the gun, and have it sent to your FFL for transfer in your state. Contact both FFL's for confirmation before proceeding!

There would have to be substantial savings on the OTD price of the gun in order to offset fees and logistics when compared to a simple purchase from your LGS.

With the slim margin on new gun sales this would raise a flag for me. Anyone else?
