30rd AR mag

[dlbrown75]

I built my Dad a rifle and do not have any mags. I am not greedy but if someone has 2 30rders I would appreciate it.

Mod Note:

This thread caused some concern and strong reaction from some members.
This was due to a timing issue when two threads were open at the same time that raised some questions.

The member offered this explanation.

I built a rifle for my dad, finished last night. They gun store where I picked up the lower had zero mags. I searched my usual internet places last night to no avail. Did the same this morning. When I didn't find any I placed the wanted to buy ad for 2 mags. I then left my house. I went to 3 individuals I deal with looking for mags. I found these pmags. I bought 5 for 55 a piece. My dad can only afford 2 so im selling the remaining 3.

I'd also like to use this episode as a learning opportunity.

There was a reasonable explanation for what happened. The member should have quicly closed his WTB thread to avoid the appearance of impropriety, however, people get busy and are often distracted. It's a minor thing.

We had a system for reporting posts and it was used to alert the Mods.

What also happened was that many people judged the situation without all the facts and were ready to ban this member! We need to exercise more restraint folks. We are after all a community of firearm enthusiasts. Let's give one another the opportunity to resolve issues before resorting to knee-jerk reactions.
