A used Citori WL 16 is on my bucket list....

That is a nice Citori WL. Pricey, but very nice looking wood. It would be perfect fit in that Boyt Case.

This one is a bit more than I'll spend for a used one, but definitely a good looking specimen!

I take it that this is only for folks in VA.

A quick look at the rules don't appear to prohibit people from other states. The concern seems to be that all laws are followed and any sales of firearms to out-of-state folks go through an FFL.

The stated purpose of the site is to facilitate face to face transactions, which would require that seller and buyer both be Virginia residents. I just registered, but I live in Virginia. I wish someone from another state would try to register and see what happens.

I'm from Pa. and I have belonged to Va. guntrader for a couple of years and. have bought several guns on there. I would pick them up when I was down there of which I am as I speak. That will be my next stop on the laptop to see if there is anything on there that I need while I'm here. LOL. Lon

To confirm, I do not know the seller; however, I did let him know that I posted his gun on the 16ga.com site.

I just received the following PM from him. See my reply to his PM below:

Let your guys know I can sell out of state but it has to ship to their FFL DEALER ONLY. I've had 3 out of state offers to buy but they all got cold feet when it comes time to sending a stranger $1800 before they get the gun? Kind of getting tired of talking to people for nothing! If your looking to buy guns long distance over the internet you've got to be willing take chances? It's a beautiful gun!

I know how you feel. However, there have been scams, especially on Arms List, so I guess they are being cautious. Also, when folks look at your profile on VAGunTrader there are no Visitor Comments about previous transactions to provide some assurance. Pretty sure everyone on the 16ga site knows that it must be shipped to an FFL if out of state. However, I will pass along your comments.

I asked the seller if he had sold anything on Gunbroker or other sites. He said this is the second time he has listed a gun for sale on the internet but has yet to sell one.

We have sealed the deal, I'll post some better photos when I get the gun here.

Thanks for all the help.

Looking forward to your pictures and your thoughts on how it shoots.
