- Hell yes, buy it now. Before he comes to his senses. These things
- are worth about twice as much on the open market.

- Of course, assuming this is legit. The key is "pre-ban". The
- after ban ones come with the thumbhole stock, 5-round magazine and
- no flash suppressor. If he purchased a post-ban gun and modified it
- to look more "evil", he (and you) could be risking serious trouble.
-
- Does he have documentation as to original purchase?
