Looks like a well done copy. Need Chuckindenver to jump in. May well go for real money.

[WarPig1976]

Yes, how can one tell??

looks like a cheesy done bolt,...not even a good copy...hope the buyer gets a kiss as well.
both bolts pictured are sporter bolts done poorly...not even close.

The seller has now posted that he has conflicting information regarding authenticity and offered to allow bid retraction. Got to appreciate his attempt to set things straight.

Sure seems like the selling morals of our society are getting very low. Glad ebay seller has changed his tune. There was a guy on the M14 forum that had "new, unissued rare oprods". He got raked over the coals by those that knew what to look for. Two days ago, same WTS popped up on the AR15.com. He got busted there too.
