Again I take no offense from your comment because you are correct that did pay for the item
even though through this forum and my own more critical observation it is an obvious fake.
I have also learned that even if the item is listed as M1icon Carbine Irwin Pedersen flip site rp/rp
that you can't even believe that . Again I am thankful for the comments both for and against
paying for the item, I do believe however in disagreement with you Chip that it was listed as above
and it was a fraudulent and deceptive listing even if in the
quote" description "it only had 6 dollar shipping, Just a question who puts the top listing down on any given item that is placed on GunBroker . If this gentleman put down Irwin Pedersen sight marked rp/rp I don't know how that is not a description of originality. There is no more an Irwin Pedersen factory or subcontractor making these items for an m1 so I would assume that an unsuspecting person
is going to get rip off by a Chinese knock off that has nothing to do with Irwin Pedersen. It looks like there are a lot of us out there and I fully accept the title of naive sap. And knowing my type of personality I did pay for it but I like so many others would like to see this type of practice stopped and the only way to do it is taking action that some on this forum suggested and not pay an obvious forgery . I was to lazy and certainly could not challenge the person because I am neither an expert or quite sure if M1Carbine Irwin Pedersen flip site marked rp/rp as described is really not one if it is not located in the description box. But this has been a great lessen for me . It was not about the money that so much as just the red a-- that I got when I found out about these fake items that are being passed off as original by these
shysters out there . I appreciate all that has been said and so long there is money to be made at this there will be ignorant suckers like me there buying this stuff[me excluded now ] but in the long run this will only hurt people that are trying to have a great hobby of collecting these old rifles
Thanks again
