I'd be interested in hearing Ret.Marine's version of how his scam went down.

"Scammed by Mike Staton [email protected]

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In March Mike posted about needing a M1 Garand for an honor guard. I have donated many Garand parts to veterans organizations and J.J. O'Shea's M1 for Vets, so I emailed him and asked if needed any parts for his group, the "Cadillac Honor Guard". Mike replied that he needed an op rod, and I sent one for free, priority mail. All I asked for was a letter saying that I donated the op rod to a non-profit. Mike agreed to send the letter. Well after many emails promising a letter, guess what?-Nothing. I hope at least the op rod went to a veteran's group, but I have no way of knowing that. I have saved every email between us, including the ones in which he promised to send the letter, and the last one that I sent him, which said that he had one week to send the letter or I would post negative feedback here about him. If needed I will post those here. "



Shame on him if true.

I just purchased a rifle from ret_marine2003 in Nov 08 and the deal went smooth. He gave a me great deal and added some extra magazines for free. He even took the rifle out and test fired it for me to check for canted sights, rough trigger, wobbly magazine etc. (common problems with AK's) before I agreed to take it. It seems his explanation in the link is valid. Have you looked at all of the good feedback he has. You may want to check that.

i think BR has an ax to grind. why post this BS here otherwise?
No axe to grind. I'm just worried about Ret.Marine. I'd hate to think he'd stoop to scamming people on the internet.

Just conducting an investigation, so to day.

I think the phrase is "so to say", but of course BR bungled yet another attempt at being intellectual. He's now conducting an "investigation". Looks like somebody got a "police kit" for Christmas. lol.

You mean like you cruising the internet when you're supposed to be teaching your students?

Right. Nice when someone who can't keep focused on his job starts preaching to others.

Man you must have to have wings on to keep above the s&it piled up by Amtraker.

Let's see, it's 0244 here, and class doesn't go into session until........ OT, but I noted with interest that you are now saying that you live in Santa Fe (another discussion group). Yet, you've been saying you live in LA. So which is it, or do you commute?

Well BR, I'd love to wait until you try to formulate another pseudo-intellectual answer, but I had only woken up to get a drink of water and decided to log on. Still waiting on your Israeli attack prediction, slated for tomorrow. Perhaps you can see it from your rooftop position in LA, or is it Santa Fe? How'd you get the couch up there BTW?

Scamming people??? It was a donation to a non-profit and it makes sense they only meet once a month, and makes sense he would need to wait until the meeting to get the letter.

Sounds like that would be a real profitable scam :cool::p:D.

and how old is that news. BR, i don't want to get into a peeing contest with you, but let me say this, not trying to flame you, just friendly advice...... what's the point? i've noticed that if ANYONE dissagrees with you, you go off. CHILL, man, it's christmas. i like a lot of your posts, some are informative and thought provoking, but the more you attack, the bigger the hole gets. Merry Christmas. GC, i like your steer.

Ha! Good one! Thank God, not that you believe in him mind you, that you're there and I'm not I say.

Keep your head down and stay safe.

That complaint was posted months ago and the explanation reasonable, no further complaint posted since then so BR has shown that he'll clutch at mighty slim staws to try to run down and denigrate those who don't agree with him.
Poor showing.
