Considering what some of thes A4 auctions have been bringing CMP could do a better job on the descriptions and photographs. Preparation of a data sheet like the one used for M1icon's shouldn't be too much of a burden.

This latest auction for example said the rifle had an "original stock" but made no mention of any stock markings.
