Barrel has been refinished and flip sight is fake. The bolt also appears to have been refinished as well. It would be interesting to see the weld scars on the barrel band. Many humped up fakes from this seller. Would avoid him like the plague.

Stay away from that carbine is my advise. There is too much that is not right with it. And, and a great big "and", the seller!

You look at photo 23
the tip of the stock near the barrel band. It looks like an old Army stock with all the character you'd expect. Then the rest of the stock is sanded rough to look new. Maybe it's me, but I think people should be horse whipped for this kind of stuff....and then put in prison. Like looking under the fender of a classic car and seeing lumps of bondo. The barrel is shot out too. I can see these guys saying " How can we make a silk purse out of this sow's ear?"

Notice he never claims anything is original, but it is certainly implied. At least he never says "I don't know much about these guns, but.."

I bought quite a lot of parts from them back in '06 when they were Al-Sam-Bob. The stuff was legit back then. Don't recall them selling complete carbines at that time though.

2006 is about the time I joined the old Culver forum. If my memory serves me right, back then "humpers" were the exception rather than the rule. Now it seems like humpers are the rule rather than the exception. Even some good people have gone to "the dark side of the force" for profit. I have been half expecting humping to rear its ugly head in the retro AR15 community with vintage parts getting premium prices. Fortunately, it is a smaller field and the parts are difficult to fake! Not too many people making fake green painted brown fiberglass Model 601 stocks!
