When time allows, look back thru some of their past sales and look at stock, flip sight and barrel band markings.....

He is a joke.
This one I am watching. I don't know the seller, but it is kind of hard to tell the details from the pics provided!!!

Hey Guys, Im a new collector, why do you say this gunbroker seller rips people off? Is it the price or is he faking stuff? I jumped the gun and bid on one of his carbines before I checked around, Id rather pay too much than fall for fake stuff! Thanks!
He sells enhanced stuff with less than truthful descriptions
butt plate?
What jumps out at me? Sam-T-Bob! That's what jumps out at me. Hum, round staked rear sight dove tail, fake rear sight, fake barrel band, fake hammer, fake bolt, fake magazine catch, fake cartouche.... I gotta go to work now!

Yes, I will wave my trademark on that for you TR.

It must be alot of beginner buyers on gunbroker who don't know any better.... like myself :wave: who are buying carbines. Like anything else, it takes time to learn what is what.
Yes you are correct. I bet if you asked most members here we all got burned then started to research and learn more and more. These carbines are a lot easier to fake due to them being a lot softer metal than say garands or 1903's. So it is easier to fake and catch trusting buyers that have to have that original early carbine.

I used to buy quite a few things from what was Al-Sam-Bob back in 2006, he seemed pretty legit back then.
Most start out that way LE. Georgie started out legit....as hard as that is to believe :lol:
