TL;DR the guy bought an AR15 from a guy who claimed to be a dealer.
The seller was actually an officer posing as a dealer.
Scumbag behavior aside (his past harassment of some woman, and his apparent involvement in counterfeiting), does this read like the guy knew what he was buying?
I think to most non-internet-nerds or non "gun nuts", the lingo used by the feds was meaningless babble. The buyers response to the text message makes him seem confused. He doesn't care whether it's full auto or semi auto, whichever sounds better? He thinks he's buying a machine gun for less than the price of a poverty pony? Sure... and Randy Weaver knew he was buying a 17.9" barrel shotgun.
Sounds like 95% of NES classified deals. Meet up in a parking lot, chat a bit - "Get them before *insert politician* does!"
