Found this stripped Romanian under folder for sale and I'm tempted to buy it but something seems fishy. As you can see, it's in pretty bad shape. When asked, the guy said his "cousin started a fire too close to it". He also won't give the serial number for me to check and lives in a rough part of town (also hand tats. Just sayin). Basically, is this gun too sketchy to buy and how damning is fire damage?
Tatted up hands = felon?
Can I save her?
Were all the nonmetal parts destroyed by the fire? That rifle looks like absolute garbage you would find abandoned in some african river, hell I wonder if it's a machinegun

low ball him, claim it will cost too much to get running again. then just meet in a public spot, or just do it at a police station, just call the station first.
I may do it. Im still trying to get him to give me the number. Just realized it looks like the bolt is missing too but I think I can get all the parts I need for ~$150
No deal is worth a hot gun, murder weapon, or unregistered machine gun. Plus fire damage? How long was it in the fire, how hot was the fire, why is he selling it now? He's selling it now because it's stolen, it's a murder weapon, or it's no longer functional. Hard pass
I would do it if you can get him down to $150
>>33909420
I was thinking $200
Imo if he knows its an 85 romy he's probably not nigger tier. I'd still pass though.

Depends on how much he knows about guns. aim for 150$ take 200$. A google search will tell him what it is, that doesn't mean he's know how to fix it or the cost of doing so.
I dont have an underfolder and really only want one for the sake of having it so I thought it would be a good chance to get one for the low
Undoubtedly a criminal who owns it, probably used in criminal activity and then burned to hide the evidence.
No idea how hot the fire was, but clearly hot enough to burn all the wood to ash and destroy most of the finish, so probably hot enough to weaken or deform the barrel and reciever.
It's criminal scrap. Pass.
Nigga, that thing is hot in one way or another.
You want to roll those dice, be my guest.
I just needed to be talked out of it I guess. Also, while I have an audience, if anyone has a line on a Romy push button folder, Maadi crutch folder, East German KKMPi-69 .22, or a DTK-2 brake, let me know

Tell him you want a FFL to transfer possession. At most it's $35 on your investment and a surefire way to tell if you're getting a hot gun. If he doesn't respond, he's most likely a criminal.

desu i still think it's worth looking into if you can get the serial out of him and check it out in person in a public spot.
>>33909320
is he white? if not, bail.
>>33909618
I told him Id have to think on it because I really like to have the number to run. Anyone know the best way to run a serial? Im not sure how reliable some of those online checkers are
>>33909709
Just ask your local PD. seriously. Explain the situation, and if he gives the number they will run it.if it's clean good deal, if not I'm sure they will want to have a little chat with him. win win for you.

Just buy it and clean it up. If its hot, just chop it up and sell or rebuild the parts kit.
