It seems more like they are trying to balance their anti-gun stance against the potential profit to be made from the sales of gun-related items. The more likely explanation for allowing gun-related items has less to do with them being ok with guns and more to do with the fact that there is money to be made. For instance, it's now ok to buy or sell mags, but of only 10 rd capacity or less. Even though they allow certain gun-related items, they're still needlessly restrictive, and even that is recent improvement. I don't think this is an accurate assumption. (I am a power seller on ebay and they along with paypal have always worked out all the problems I have ever encountered) PS - I strongly believe that if ebay and paypal were anti gun that A) ebay would not allow the sale of magazines, holsters, or anything else firearm related and B) paypal would freeze transactions on those items. I wish they weren't "anti-" but the supposed zeal with which they persecute gun owners is severely overblown. I also appreciate that on the rare occasions I get a raw deal from a seller PayPal backs me up, refunding my money every time. Check ebay, virtually every gun related item on ebay is listed as accepting PayPal. Personally, I have used PayPal to buy many, many gun related items and never had a problem. Simply stating that you may not use PayPal to purchase firearms "or certain firearm parts or accessories", with no further clarification. Their terms of use is, well, uselessly ambiguous. You can buy many gun related items using PayPal. In fact, from a "just work and don't bother me" perspective, they're one of the best companies I've ever used. What sorts of horror stories? I've used PayPal for years and never had a problem. I have heard of too many horror stories about them. I personally do NOT get involved with any PayPal transactions. Most of the times it indicates payment options in the listing. I will first ask the seller if they accepted Money Order, Debit /Credit Cards. It’s likely it will quickly go beyond my pay grade, but you never know.If I were to bid on a gun holster auction on ebay.Before placing my bid. I’ll be watching the auction as it unfolds, especially on the Mosin pictured above. You can view the complete Lee Ermey auction here. Gunnery Sergeant Ermey was a man who knew his guns. If you’ve spent any time on the ExNotes blog, you know I love shooting my Mosins. One of these days I’ll do a blog on it.Īnd one more of the many that are going on the block. I have one of those that my Dad left to me he bought it when he was a kid. What’s interesting to me is that Gunnery Sergeant Ermey used his Python (it’s got the scratches and finish wear showing that).Īnother one that’s interesting is the Model 62 Winchester. The first is a Colt Python that is part of a three gun cased set Colt offered several years ago (the set included a Python, a Single Action Army, and a black powder revolver). Here are a few of the Gunny’s guns that got my attention. Lee Ermey owned a lot of shotguns, a few handguns, and a few rifles. I looked through the guns listed out of curiosity to see what Gunny Lee had, and he had good taste in firearms. Lee Ermey’s gun collection is about to go up for auction. What grabbed my attention is that the late R. We’ve all seen the movie I watch it every time it airs. A United States Marine and a drill instructor hired to advise the actors in Full Metal Jacket who was so impressive in showing the phonies how to be a real Marine the folks in charge hired him to play the role (or so the story goes there are various versions floating around).
