Ahhhhh, the benefits of private firearms transactions. No paper trails.
Speakign of which, I’m looking to buy a lever action .357 short barrel (19 to 20 inches for barrel, ~34 to 36 inches long) from a private party, if you know of anyone who has one. It makes a great home defense weapon for a small person, like a wife or young teen. I’m in E. TN and will drive up to 150 miles to make the cash purchase.
