Sorry you have had a bad experience buying on-line with GB. I have bought and sold many,many,many,many times with them and had no problems. Guess I am lucky to have a GREAT FFL (Downham & Son's Shooters Supply) and I over communicate(if there is such thing when it comes to buying firearms) with the seller just to make sure all is well and shipping as planned. Just my opinion, but don't be so quick to give up on GB buying.
