I'm not sure about the handguard, but that seller has lots of other items that appear authentic. I wish one of you guys would buy the pack of 30 round mags and let the rest of us know what the markings are on them. - Bob

I agree Charlie ! Spacing, Font, and a few other things are not right. Seller might not know this however. Snowing I hear, gotta a guy from Pennsylvania staying in the house at the moment. Cheers, Mike.

Straight out Fake.
I have IR-IP Hg's here, but scared to post pics any more.

Cheers,

Bob,

I believe those are 15 round mags not 30.

[USGI]

I believe you are right. I think I can see the outlines of the mags in the 2nd picture. A bit of wishful thinking on my part! - Bob

Here's a link to a similar pack (60's) that sold a few months ago:

The fake sold for $73 wow.

I have one that was double stamped.

The one on my IP is double stamped just like that
