It's one thing to be a subject matter expert and give expert advice (which is highly commended), but to shit on someones auction because you have a feeling something is not right, is not cool.
I had someone report a couple of my Atlas bipod auctions as fake, and they got pulled numerous times to the point of TM threatening to suspend my account. All while the clear knockoffs were left on TM to sell.

And yes this TM seller in question is not the best. Poor photo, no serial etc

Yeah well, I see no bad intention....we don't have to agree, but we do need to respect and accept differences.

that's not always 100 percent guaranteed though. I've seen scopes that adjust on the piss, bought from a retailer and have the right serial number.

@quentin
You seem to coming into this with an existing issue with TM (they aren't my good friend either) and laying it on me. Not my problem sorry.
I admitted being wrong with the old style boxes.
Leave it as that please.

There does seem to be some alliexpress stuff on his site but its not being advertised as anything but generic unless Iv missed something??
Im not promoting him at all, just giving my experience.

He conviently doesnt include the actual serial number just emails saying they are legit on the vortex and Minox scopes both of which have at times been on Ali. The tikka qd mount used to be on Aliexpress and theres no way he imported an AAC suppressor out of the US with the paperwork involved and is selling it for that cheap (nevermind they dont make aluminium suppressors) but you used to be able to buy AAC "Solvent traps' on Ali. Iray is chinese isnt it bet he just had a contact in China. Im sure some items are legit and grey imported but enough isnt that id steer clear

Issue wasn't with TM as such. Issue was with someone incorrectly reporting my listings. This is what got my back up.
End of rant

@quentin the TM seller posted the serial number of his gun safe for his other auction.

So steer clear . We all get to choose were we spend our money.
