Perhaps a WTB ad in that forum will draw more attention, these guys have everything...Quote:

Try Riverbank Armory [208] 441-1354

WW-2. all I go by is how I was treated and if the parts were org. parts, I posted some of the parts that I got from him here and ask members if they thought they were the real thing, "mag. release, front sight, rear sight, safety, frt. barrel band" to name a few, not one neg. comment from any one, only looks good to me. I did not say where I got the parts.Quote:

But, we all just have to do what we think is best for us. ;)
This is exactly why there are so many "corrected" carbines out there with fake parts. I have no firsthand experience with anything that RB sells, I never will. My decision never to buy from him is based off of what I have read and been told by carbine collectors that are far more knowledgeable than I am or will ever be. Like you said we all have to do what we think is best for us.:thup:Quote:

Yes the owner of RB is very well known in the collecting community and to be avoided. Oh and the odds are your pin is fresh in from China along with new parts like rear sights. He has a pipe line there.
