I'll admit we do sound pretty anal at times. But it's for the love of the collecting!.....Not the anal part........ ;-(

dbarn, What is a basement creation? What would the difference in value be? Thanks.....Frank

[dbarn]

Dr. Frankenstein could elaborate on this subect more than I. In this case there was added value to the tune of 3700+! "IT"S ALIVE."

[frankderrico]

O.K., I'm still not sure. If you by a receiver and build a carbine is that a creation? I'm just asking thats all, no need to get ruffled.....Frank

[dbarn]

Just interjecting a little humor to the situation.

A restoration with original correct period USGI parts would have more value than a restoration with a fake acceptance stamp and fake parts with non period correct USGI parts. At least with the former your carbine would always be worth the sum value of the parts.

The sad thing about putting any fake parts/acceptance stamps on a carbine makes the entire carbine questionable and subjects it to intense scrutiny. Especially when this information is not disclosed up front.

OK, I can be a smart a** too.

I will go by a bad Carbine. And buy an nice one. Frank, I'm a bad speller too.

To me, buying a receiver and building a Carbine with real original parts, is a rebuild. I think what they are saying here is a person who uses remarked, bogus, or faked parts and stock stamps, is making a creation.

[painter777]

How about we call a built up from barreled receiver a rebuild/restoration.
A mixer bought and restored with correct parts should fall under the rebuild/restoration category also.

What say you Jim and David?

I wawnt to say thank you to the fellows on the Carbine Forum. I find them to be quite knowledgeable and have learned a good bit in my short itme here. When you have so many people faking and forging things why would a person not be suspicious. It has definitely made me take a step back and do a lot more research before adding another carbine to my collection. Thanks again to you guys.
