HIS REAL NAME IS billie bryant, & HE HAS BEEN A PRIVATE HUNTER & COLLECTOR FOR 47 YRS. & BOB PETERSEN & HIM WERE GREAT FRIENDS ALONG WITH FRANK PACMYAR & FREDDY BRUNNER? HE STEPS UP TO BUY GUNS BILL THAT SOME PEOPLE WILL NOT BUT WISHED THEY HAD AFTER THE FACT? HE DOES NOT TRY & SELL FOR TRIPLE THE PRICE? & FOR YOUR INFO THE BHE SOLD FOR 27000 TWICE ALREADY? M Y GRANDSON WAS HELPING & HE MADE ERRORS IN DESCRIBING THREE GUNSBUT I WOULD RATHER HAVE A 14 YR.OLD HELPING ME THAT MAKES HONEST MISTAKES THAN A BUYER WHO CANNOT TELL THE TRUTH BECAUSE OF BUYERS REMORSE AFTER DEALING THE KID DOWN FROM 17500 TO 15000 & THEN TELLING BUT UNTRUTHS?

bill my grandson has been hammered enough about listing this wrong & for your info we did not buy & list the 410 baby frame for 36000? it sold for 24000 & could have sold to six people? by the way we have two three barrel sets A_1 spcl. & one set of bhe 410-28 set? i sincerely wish people like yourself would be more sociable & just email me & ask who or what prices are before you just take potshots at individuals you do not even know? you might actually have somthing in common about guns or? have a great day, billie

Boy, if I was Billie I'd be tempted to send 'Mr. Addison' his $220 back WITH an apology ON THIS SITE just to set the record straight. That'd show 'em!

I would much rather Mr. Bryant understand that you don't treat people this way and stay in business. I do appreciate the gesture though. I've met some of the nicest people buying and selling a few guns. There was bound to be one bad apple.
