    With prices going the way they are, it was only a matter of time before L42's etc started to appear in the "faked to be sold as real" category just like all those K98kicon sniper's have been for the past 30 odd years.

    It's not just firearms. One of my other interests is military issued watches and prices of those have also rocketed over the past few years. This has now seen the emergence of fakes of not only the rarer expensive types but even the humble CWC Quartz G10 is not immune to attempts to pass off copies or made up "bitsas" as originals.
