    And the madness on LA Sportsman is ratcheting up a couple more notches. How about a $1200 Stevens 410 double barrel shotgun? Or maybe you prefer his Remington 30.06 742 Woodmaster rifle @ $850? He claims it had 5 rounds total down the pipe since 1962. Oh my, people be standin in line to buy that one.

    G19 gen5 for $1200...

    But it DOES come with the box and a couple extra mags! I'd try to talk him down, but the price is firm. :dogkeke:

    Dayum! F**kers are nuts! Maybe somebody from Cali buys it from him via FFL.

    I picked up a case of ammo from a guy last week and he said the current new pistol shortages are due in part to people in Cali/West Coast area buying and willing to pay whatever prices for new pistols.

    I'm pretty sure people in Louisiana aren't so willing, but maybe you snare a noob who just HAS to have one. Kinda like hitting on every girl in the bar. Odds are one will go home with ya! :dogkeke:

    I used that strategy about 44 years ago, and it works quite well. Once the lights go off, they all look the same :)

    Liquor helps too.

    At least some people appreciate the work that we put in..for free... for "fun."


    Oh, I absolutely appreciate what y'all do. And that's why I love Bayou Shooter so much and know it's the best local forum by light years. Certainly the best in Louisiana, maybe even the world! I've recruited dozens of fellow firearm enthusiasts to Bayou Shooter since I joined a few years ago. Thanks for keeping it great. Keep that sh*t up!

    Just found something "funny" on sportsman

    https://app.louisianasportsman.com/...ngle_ad&id=974088&cat_code=HU&subcat_code=HU3

    I wonder if it is "taxed" as a SBR. Maybe "Earl" is smarter than he appears?

    So I checked his other ads. The jeep wheels are my favorite. 3 seperate written descriptions, on in the header, eon as a picture? and the regular area for a lengthy description:

    "Jeep rims set of 5..5 lug set of 5 good year tires. P255 /75 R17 and 9 rims as is. they are for trade for a gun. and also for sale. .just make an offer and it will be considered. I also have other - $1,000.00"

    "Its 9 rims and 5 tires as is. 5 lug. P255/75/R17 its a Package deal. It's for trade for a gun. And it's also for sale a $1,000.00 takes it all. I'm not desperate but I'm willing to negotiate send offers to area code
    337-523-9322
    thanks for your time."

    Thank God he is not desperate.

    The scams are back on Louisiana Sportsman. It’s the same guy with multiple accounts. He will agree to meet, but as for a deposit first. Other times he will ask for payment then mail it.
    Many of these listing pop up late at night since it is daytime in the country they are posted from.

    Yep, I talked to him yesterday (I'm ScamReporter...No need to call me a hero...) and posted a warning about it. Then I saw the others pop up all evening. He texts like a foreigner, so if you're paying attention, it's pretty obvious. Although, he is using Google maps because he knows local places, which is a nice touch, I must say.
