Faking Anyting

[enfield303t]

Well everytime I see people building a reproduction (fake) anything I must say it really bothers me.

No one I believe that posts on this site is in the business of building a fake anything for profit. I honestly believe that they want to build because like many sometimes can't afford the real thing or it really is almost impossible to find.

Today we have no control over what happens to the object one it leaves the hands of the original builder. Built to a purpose but what if the second or third owner sells it as a original to a newbie.. I always consider myself to be a newbie.

The bonus of this site is the availability of experts to help one with a purchase or personal friends that are well versed in what I want to buy.

The unfortunte thing is the experts and knowledgeable on this site are not available at gun shows, and we all know what happens when we think we have found a good deal on and must act quickly.

If I could haul the knowledgeable with me to every show I would feel much better. We have heard people post that they have seen a fake at a show or somewhere and where did it end up and how was it sold..real or fake?

Just my opinion and I am sure many of you will disagree but that is ok with me. Today the marketing of fake everything is proliferating the world, scopes, guns, paintings, you name it and it makes me very cautious and very worried.

Maybe I just worry too much?
