I ran into a rather sad young man with a M1C at Phoenix on Saturday. He was looking for opinions about the M1C he had purchased at the Phoenix Gunshow 2 years ago. It was a 3.7 million SA with a SA 1948 barrrel. The stock was red, almost pink and uniform as all 3 pieces of wood matched. It had been heavily sanded and bore mint (correct) stampings. You could see the drilling and tapping for the G&H base and see no parkerizing on the holes. The base screws were not staked in. The tappered pins were heavily hammered into place. The young man said everyone who looks at the Garandicon thinks it is a fake. I told him I agreed with those opinions. The G&H base and mount and the scope all appeared to be genuine. He did not say if he had any paperwork nor did he disclose the price. I think he has a nice criminal fraud case there, but I have no idea what is next in this story.
