Nice gun, what would possess someone to choose that colour.

1. Seller is ignorant; and
2. Seller is selling it on, as it was sold him.
In case he's ignorant, well, I am sure it would have been pointed out to him at some stage. Just unlikely otherwise. I mean, I am not an expert and I've spotted it immediately.
Respectfully,..I'm not confident of your surety... at best, it is only a 'possibility' or an assumption..for all you know, he is a hillbilly who never shoots around anyone to be made aware...point is, YOU don't know...
In case the ad went up, while the seller knew what it was and was selling it as something else - that's a c*nt thing to do, which makes them a c*nt. Regardless how it was sold to them.
Agreed,...WERE he to 'know'....which I don't know for sure if he does or not,...and neither do you..
So, taking all of this into account, what you are suggesting has a very low likelihood of actually being the case. Wouldn't you agree?
It is only your assessment that it is highly unlikely...and without any 'facts', i am not about to agree one way or the other...the saying 'walk a mile in his shoes' seems apt....what you know, and the seller knows, are very different fish.
Are you the seller or know the seller? Sounds like you've been simmering on that one.

You chimed in (which you are ,of course , most welcome to do) with an opinion as to give the seller the benefit of the doubt. It might seem 'mean' but it's meaner to knowingly try and pass off a rifle as something it isn't. The seller knew it wasn't real and I would stand by the statement any day of the week.
An arguement or debate over the benefits of certain features, brand quality etc no problem.
This came about with the simple question , is this real? No
Does he know it's not real? Yes
There is no debating (or arguing) that point.
My spider senses tingled immediately. The language used demonstrated a reasonable understanding of firearms. I have read 100's of ads, there is a certain pattern that emerges. This ad in particular stunk to high heaven of fishiness. Peeeeeyooooo!!!!!!
I don't argue online. I offer an opinion, share experiences, ask for advice. I learn as I also try to educate.
I'm not trying to be dismissive of your opinion to give the benefit of the doubt. But I have been on this earth long enough to know bullsh1t when I smell it.

I know you love that thing, but i reckon it must be the ugliest gun ive ever seen.
Not trying to give you a hard time, each to their own and all that!
