Larry hustles, I've known him for probably 30 years, he is always hustling. He's retired Air Force, and since retiring he hits all the CNY and WNY gunshows, auctions, and 30 years of word of mouth and networking he has a huge network to score stuff.
He really is a great guy, but you do have to be careful on some of his stuff, he has let faked/enhanced stuff get through, and he knows enough to know on some of these, but tends to gloss over some things in descriptions, or is vague. Mostly his stuff is fine, but as always know what you are looking at,
That's my main complaint about him. He always feigns ignorance when it suits him, but when it's something truly rare and not well known he won't just tell you what book to find it in, he'll show you the page! He or someone who he commonly does business with must have piles of Arisaka bolts. I've seen so many "matching" Arisakas with bolts from other manufacturers. He'll just say it's "kanji marked" to feign ignorance, when he knows what they mean. My favorite being a serial number 1 gun, with a bolt numbered 001, while all the rest of the parts are just marked 1. The gun was also listed as mismatched in the very same book he's shown before.
