smoking_guns10 AKA Terry Grindle and his wife Hazel Grindle uses many different names on many sites cheating people. These are all the same guy:
Smoking guns
B00mer
Tclover
gun_doctor
Bluelinegunsmithing
Oldfartz
OLDFART
Bangumbigass
Bigb00mer
stagarmsfan
Maddog 2020
revolverfan2
and the list goes on and on.
I made the mistake of buying a press from him listed as "excellent condition" and it's an old worn out lee press, that was rusty so he painted over it and glued the handle back on.
After a little search I find he has been scamming people on several gun sites when he is not in jail.
He has 48 post on this site and every one of them are selling in the classifieds. Some of these are expensive items and I don't want to see more people get screwed. This is the first time I have ever been cheated on a gun site. He has been banned from several sites already.

Yep he is staying in Ridgeland, SC now and using a po Box just across the stateline in GA for scamming. That's him.
Does anybody know if he has an account or has posted on ar15.com?
What's the deal with this guy?
Edit,
When I wrote this, the whole first page wasn't showing up. Nevermind.

Thanks guys I followed lots of the links and cant believe these people. I live about 30 mins from the bessemer city location. I could have easily fallen victim to them. These characters had so many diff names i would get the feeling that the gun loving society Americans had really changed I have lickily not had any bad deals with any one i have met here or other forums. Face book gun pages too. Knock on wood.
Well as it turns out he had snuck back in amongst us as gun_doctor. That IP was new and didn't track back to any of his previous IP addresses. And in some cases his old usernames were banned so long ago (in the CSF days) that the IP address is no longer listed in the profile that is visible to us.
I am going to sticky this thread so that we don't lose track of this guy again.

Think we should try a scam the scammer?
He has an old one on arfcom:
http://www.ar15.com/member/member.html?id=199009
Take a look at the image info in his one post on arfcom, it matches one of his old banned names on CSF as stagarmsfan, the photobucket addy is in both of these links
b00mer_2008 on photobucket.
If you Google that photobucket account name the results that match up are quite extensive, dumbass uses the same photobucket for everything.
That's definitely him.

He is living in Ridgeland, SC according to his facebook. Must be using the Meldrim, GA PO box to scam. Meldrim is just down the street across the state line from Ridgeland, SC.Well as it turns out he had snuck back in amongst us as gun_doctor. That IP was new and didn't track back to any of his previous IP addresses. And in some cases his old usernames were banned so long ago (in the CSF days) that the IP address is no longer listed in the profile that is visible to us.

stagarmsfan screwed me on a trade back in the CSF days....traded a xd 45c for a 44 mag, mine was new and he sent me a sand blasted ruger 44 mag that was unsafe to shoot.
think he said he was handicap(wheel chair).... near the GA line just in SC.

Been banned, again. This is the third or fourth username of his/theirs that we've banned here. They've used a dozen or more (see OP in this thread) on various forums over the years.I followed the links and then googled the address. A very close relative whose house I am at alot only lives 3.6miles from them. BAN THEM!!
He is using this email address [email protected] he is active on armslist. I got a trade offer on a listed non firearm item, and he wanted me to ship my item to the above listed address (po box) which I recognized. That is one reason for FTF only on Armslist.
