Saw a Rockola carbine with final acceptance stamps that piqued my attention the other day.

No only was the ordnance wheel and "RMC" stamped suspiciously evenly, deeply, freshly and sized too large, but it was stamped so deeply that it showed that the crossed cannons and letters used were all on one giant stamp, many inches wide. I can't remember whether there was even anything in the sling well.

I am pretty sure this was never originally the case right?

There were a number of other things wrong with the carbine in addition that pointed to someone trying and failing to "improve" the carbine or assemble an obvious fake, such as an early sight but stake marks consistent with an adjustable sight on the dovetail, barrel band, and more, but the stock stuck out at me the most.

And no, I can't get pictures. It's at a touchy store and I don't want to tick them off about the fakery.
