Wonky 03A4 Stock? Potential Forgery?

[WarPig1976]

But who's to say it's illegal.? The fact of the matter is there is no way for a government agent to run THAT s/n and be able to determine THAT rifles s/n has been altered.
I could strike the s/n on any Milsurp I own and replace the s/n, who's going to prove A, I did it, B, that's not the actual s/n?

I'd be more worried if said rifle had no s/n but again unless it's used in a crime, in the US anyway, nobody is going to look.

Serial numbers in this case are totally irrelevant. The fact that the rifles original serial number has been ground off is where the violation lies. A simple inspection of the rifle (in this case) is enough to charge them. And yes, there are a couple ways to recover the original serial number that had been ground off too, these processes have been around for years.
