I was wondering, since they are located in Lorton VA, and you are located in Lorton VA. Don't see a need to drive 20 miles or so from Lorton to Chantilly, when y'all are in the same town, but being inefficient don't make it wrong.

I wasn't known them until I went to the gun show than I found out we are nearby. is that make sense
no that's not my AR
Thanks for answering my questions!
I have a few more.
How many gun related forums have you joined in the past 24 hours?
How are you new to building AR's but also have tons of AR parts recently listed on multiple forums all across the interwebs?
Are you a dealer? All the pictures of the AR parts you're listing on multiple forums look like stock photos?
I appreciate your interest in what I’m posting, but I think you’re jumping to some conclusions here. I’ve been getting into building ARs recently, and I’m sharing what I have to offer. Sometimes I source parts from different places, and I post to help others out who might be looking for specific components. As for the photos, I sometimes use stock images for clarity or when the parts are still in the box, but I can assure you the parts are exactly what’s being offered. I’m just trying to be transparent and get these pieces out to the right people!
If you’ve got any questions about a specific part or build, feel free to ask—I’m here to chat!"
Mark, we welcome dealers and affiliates here on ODT. I myself manage a gun shop in Marietta GA, where I am also the Armorer and gunsmith. However, dealers have to let us know that they're dealers. Then you get a special tag, and there's a special forum that is just for dealers.
What the members here take exception to are folks that are dealers or affiliates that come here ACTING like they're a customer, but they're actually shilling for a business.
You joined ODT today. Every single post of yours so far, with the exception of 1, are selling items for Shooters Gate out of Lorton VA. Your 3 listings all use pics straight from the Shooters Gate website, and 2 of them openly have watermarks that state Shooters Gate.
If it walks like a dealer, and talks like a dealer, it's probably a dealer.
Last chance, while this is still a salvageable situation. Are you affiliated with Shooters Gate out of Lorton VA?

Ok. We're done here. I called the publicly listed phone number for Shooters Gate in Lorton VA. A nice gentleman answered the phone. I asked to speak to "Mark Salvano", and someone went and got another nice gentleman that I can only assume is you. I asked if you were "Mark Salvano", and you confirmed that you were.
You're a dealer.
You're a dealer.
"Thanks for reaching out, and I appreciate your curiosity! While I do have a lot of experience in the industry and help out with various products, my focus is more on providing information and sharing parts with others who are interested. I’m not operating as a formal dealer in the traditional sense, but I am happy to help anyone who has questions or needs advice about what I'm offering.
If you ever have any more questions or need assistance, feel free to reach out. I’m always here to chat and share what I know!"
"Thank you for bringing this to my attention, and I completely understand your concerns. Yes, I am affiliated with Shooters Gate in Lorton, VA. I’ve been involved with the company, and I occasionally share listings here, but I should have made that clearer when I joined. I wasn’t intending to mislead anyone or act like a customer.
I appreciate the opportunity to clarify things, and I’m more than happy to follow the proper procedures for dealers here. I’ll make sure to get the appropriate dealer tag and adhere to the community guidelines moving forward.
Thanks again for understanding, and I’m looking forward to being a part of the community in a transparent and respectful way."
