Walk away from this guy.
I just registered here to post this.
I responded to his ad here in central Florida for an LWRC M6A2 for only $1200. Seemed to good to be true. It was. I got the EXACT same response, word for word. "sorry about the confusion, I live in NC...are you still interested? i can ship to you or your FFL and i will cover shipping cost..Let me know what works for you."
He offered to ship it straight to ME from NC? I reported him to ATF.
I did a Google search for his email and it led me here.
Here is the ad:

Here are our emails, read from bottom:
if it is verifying who i am, thats no problem...i have a license, there is no way i can hide from my identity but if it is to see the rifle before purchasing it, if you are very interested...we can work things out.
Thanks

oh your ad says Tampa FL. Without being able to verify who you are or any other details I would really have to see the rifle before purchasing.
thanks anyway

I am in Ocala, I might be able to make it down tonight after work but it would really help if you could meet me partway.
It is pictured with scope, flashlight, and bipod. What accessories are included with the sale?
thanks,
Steve
