Nope, they are not all fake. You will have to go back and read again :).

Yes the fella that brought it back cleaned the heal which I wished he didn't but nothing you can do know. You can see below where it was hit by the lower band and it bent the barrel.

Guts got it right. Only the bottom right one is real.

The rifle is off of Okinawa and was hit in the barrel at the band. Looks like they dropped it and at one point parts were stripped. The Gas...

Actually the term is Half Pregnant and it means No such thing, either you are or your aren't.

But in the case of the newly stamped NFR's along side of the GAW's, I and many others are on the...

Sorry for the delay, I have been very busy readying two homes to sell and move towards the country. My job was finally forced to lift the residency requirement they illegally imposed 27 years ago. I...

On to #10,, FAKE again. Notice the comparisons where the EMcF stamp on the Fake is larger than the real one and the cannons are smaller next to the same sized photos compared to the real one. They...

#9 is also a Fake. I know ,, you are wondering if any are real by this point but if you look back you will have that answer on your own"hint hint":dancingbanana:. Well lets see if you can find what...

Thanks guys I appreciate it.:thup:

Ok # 7 is a Fake also. This one when looking at it at a show or by itself can be a hard one also as they burned it in to give it the aged look. The key here is...

You did good and there is allot wrong with this one. Sad :crying:someone will pay big bucks for it. Rick B

Here are a couple more hints.

The H is to big [wide].
The end of the G up top doesn't go far enough.
The S is horrible :madsmile:and way out of proportion especially the center line.
Bottom...

I have found differnt stamps and the differences are so minor its not funny. The key is you will not see allot difference and you will not see two different stamps at the same time. So the...

All-righty then, on to #6. Yes you guess it "FAKE" also. This one was a harder one for many as you can see but when you look hard you will see many differences. This one is one I really want to hear...

Actually this stock was given to me over 10 years ago. It was someons crude attempt at a real forgery and the faker swore it looked good. :lol: Rick B

#5 is really so fake, that I think if you voted this one real after I've shown many of the others then collecting can be hard and costly. Look at these cannons on this one and tell me they dont...

Did anyone notice the easy part?? The center of the "M" is to high on that fake.

Ok on to #4. #4 is a Fake also. The cannons are a dead give away and were used in the post above. What else do...

Ok on to number 3. #3 is also a Fake and harder to tell since it is half sanded :move eek:to hide its flaws and may be the hardest one to compare. How many can you see? Rick B

On to the next one. #2 is a fake. This is one Bodyman made mention of and actually both 1 and 2 were part of a huge internet war over fakes. They were stated to have come from a Air force base. I...

13/16"th boxed GHD should not have periods but the 1" inch boxed one does. WB and RS had periods also. Rick B

P.S. you have 4 wrong in your guess's
