A gentleman from SA has approached me and wants to buy a muzzleloading gun barrel and lock from me. He is a farmer living in the Karoo area. He tells me that muzzleloaders are not considered guns there anymore and are exempt from all regulations. Not knowing your laws, or those here regarding the exportation of such parts, I am hesitant about getting involved in this deal.
I avoided a fiasco some years back when a gentleman from SA wanted to buy 6 guns from me and said he had an uncle who lived in the US who would wire payment from his bank to mine and what was my account number. I told him that I had an account just for that purpose, but I only kept $100 in it and transferred any incoming funds out of it immediately. Never heard from him again.
While this guy may be legitimate, I can foresee pitfalls. Any advice?
I think I will have him order from Track of the Wolf or Dixie Gun Works instead.
