If you do buy it,, offer half of what he is asking.... Also, while he is
still there, either fake a phone call to the local pd to check the
serial number, see what the "seller" does, or call ahead of time and
have pd meet up with you there... they can run the serial right away...

if he is honest, no issue,, but if pd shows and the guy takes off...
well....you know the answer to the serial number question.


I read the original post and thought "hmm. sounds stolen to me".

Second to walking away, this sounds like the best solution. At least
depending on how responsive the local PD is (and whether they'll feel
envious about the gun...).
