One more fake 4(T)

[jond41403]

Well, I'd just stay away from big buck guns nowdays. Too many fakes for me to take a bath.

I agree, if I was going to purchase something that expensive, I wouldn't do it without running it through the gambit on this forum first haha. If it passed muster by the experts on this forum then I might take a shot at it but otherwise, I would just stay away. You truly realize how many fakes are out there when joining a forum like this one. People who buy things like that without research are almost guaranteed to go wrong these days

Kinda like Dr. Frankensteins' lab: mangling rifles into abominations of nature.

What a ridiculous rendition of the rifle’s history he creates ?

But it’s in ALL CAPS, so it’s true.

This is exactly why I like collecting all the weird and less popular milsurps (Steyrs, Carcanos, etc.) simply because there is basically no fakes. Those few that are fakes are usually faked to try and make them look like something they are not (i.e. stamping a ton of waffenamts on a M95 rifle to say it was used by Nazi Germany).

I am still, still not over the less savory antiques and firearms dealers and sellers writing entire encyclopedias in their descriptions, starting with the whole history of the entire category of the item in question and mentioning the prototypes and then the production history. (With clever listing keywords). Like a buyer does not even know what "rifle" means but is going to drop $1000.00 to $10000.00 for the specific (always overpriced) item? (Maybe I shouldn't be surprised.)

(actually useful descriptions of obscure items from reputable dealers excepted)

But duly noted; so if I ever go to sell my rare Officer's Cadet's model Paratrooper Cavalry and Artillery Sniper's carbine Enfield personally used by Montgomery himself during his time in the Durban Police I will make sure to start the listing with the history of early Hande Gunnes invented in China.
