I am going to play "devil's advocate" here. Those who have complained about dealing with bad gun sellers please tell us where you live. It would be very simple to add a state to your profile. Then posters could give you some information about where you can actually look at the guns you are buying on the internet. These dealers, good and bad, go to shows and shoots and display their wares. I hardly ever buy from a major dealer sight unseen if I can meet the dealer at a show or shoot. Shipping and insurance is expensive and should be avoided whenever possible.
