Neophytes....had to look that one up. Now I know what I am but not sure how it was intended. Hi everybody, this is my first post. Registered on this forum a few weeks ago, have been collecting carbine for a year.

It's a shame people are deceptive; George and his merry little band would probably sell as many parts if they were honest with their descriptions instead of hiding the true origin of the parts they sell.

Like it or not, there is a place for reproduction parts. The fact is there just aren’t enough original parts available for new to the hobby the people like me that don’t have the networking connections with other collectors that may have original parts to sell or trade.

That shaking finger in Georges face should be turned around to any carbine collector that isn’t always as honest as they want others to be.

I would love to only buy original as built carbines, but not sure I would believe the guy selling it?

If you’re thinking I am defending the likes of George, you are dead wrong!

Just my line of sight. John
