I'll give ya the difference ;)

I'd be concerned that he might go to the police and say he gave you the money, but never got the gun, and try to claim you forged the agreement.

You are a Big Boy.

So Surely You Can Figger That Just Maybe You've Encountered Some Kind of Bad Boy.

Coupla Things Here for Consideration:

1)  Goody that a firearm traceable to you isn't now in Some Bad Boy's possession, after all.

2)  Might be a Good Idea NOT to spend that $1000 in case he shows up some night at your door short of cash.   Even though at one time he seemed to have Money to Burn.   Circumstances change.   And He may just not recognize his own signature on the quit claim note.

3)  During These Recession Days, Just What Kind of Folks have Money to Waste??    Just What Kind of Businesses Might They be In??   Probably not anything requiring a Federal Background Check.

4)  Finally, There's No Such Thing as a Free Lunch.   Possible Corollary is That There's No Such Thing as a Free AR.   Either.

One Final Thought:  Might be a good idea to keep 18 rounds in that AR's magazine, selector on Rock and Roll, and Sleep With It.   Even though you've never called it a "Gun" and always cleaned it Bright and Shiny.

Your Friend and Admirer,

Very strange indeed. What was this guy like? Rich guy? Low life? Does he know where you live? I'd watch out. If I ever do a "gun deal" I meet at a neutral place. I never let anyone come to my house unless it's someone I know is trustworthy like a forum member here or personal friend.

I had almost an exact situation about 10 years ago with a car I was selling.  They guy gave me half the money to hold it, and kept saying he would get me the rest when he came to pick it up.  After a month of runaround I wrote him a check and mailed it to him.  I had the cancelled check as proof he got the refund.
