Thanks Wayne, I had no idea. One would think that if a legit stamp is on a legit item,then it was accepted haha. I thought it was only an acceptance stamp. I had no idea it could mean other things too. I read the Herlo section on the carbine club website and it just mentions that others have added stamps to make them look accepted but didn't mention a DOD stamp. Also, happy July 4th Wayne, and thank you for your service
