I tried to purchase a WW1 Luger magazine from a Gentleman in Great Britain, who needed it 'ID'ed, had no use for it, and mentioned it on another gun forum.

I informed him of what he had, and offered to buy it. I could have used it and would have paid him a very fair price.

Fellow forum members, from all over the Globe, kibitzed with unwanted and ill informed 'legal concerns' and totally scared the poor man. (No laws would have been broken and it would have been a perfectly safe transaction, with all the risk on me).

It was a lesson in how 'Authorities' have some gun enthusiasts totally confused and scared. It turns us on each other or makes things more complicated than necessary.
