No offense intended, Stu, just not familiar with you CV. Like I said, pics as soon as I get it. I paid $35 (had it thrown in with an ammo order, so no extra shipping) for what it is. It looks a hell of a lot better than the EBAY ones! If it is actually real, that's just a bonus. Besides, I won't be able to afford a real type I band for my Inland anytime in the near future, so it is irrelevant.
