Do you you have reason to think they are not?
Not the best photos but all look genuine to me.
No, but with the proliferation of fake parts out there, I was just curious. Personally, I think they are genuine but definitely did not have the expertise or experience to say for sure. Thanks!Quote:

I also think I am seeing a round 'crater' punch mark that was used for the adjustable sight on the forward dovetail. BUT, the sight shown appears to be 'real' and aged exactly as expected for the rest of the carbine. If that exists, it would be a condition that would be impossible on a carbine in service configuration.
What's the trick to opening the pictures? - I just get a Snapfish "Whoops" error. - Bob
Hi Bob, I just accessed the photos. Try it again.Quote:

OK, was able to open the pics with Internet Explorer but not Chrome in AOL. I agree with the others on the band and rear sight - also see the stake marks that were mentioned. - Bob
How much use does your cell phone get for carbine stuff? :)Quote:

The Quality of pictures could of been better, I used Photo Pro to open them and the Sight Looks good. There are 2 marks, but would those marks make the Rear Sight fake or not ? You can clean up the picture with several applications using Photo Pro.

My main concern as I was gathering correct parts was that the rear site and barrel band were in and of themselves genuine as it seems that these two parts are two of the most faked. Regards, jQuote:
