I cut WRA Stock

[imarangemaster]

I wonder how much "Honor" is worth? Seems to me that since these humped stock and parts are going to "restore" carbines, there would be a market for them even if they were sold as reproductions. While not a collector, I have followed it for almost three years since I joined the old carbine forum on CSP. It seems to me that back then humped parts were the exception rather than the rule. Now they are the rule, rather than the exception. I can not even imagine trying to collect in this humped parts minefield! Ugh!

I think the answer to this question comes down to the word "worth". They are doing it for the $$$$$$ not just the fun of fooling a bunch of rich (???) and senile (!!!!) old guys.

Look, guys, these humpers are committing fraud. Its a crime it meets every legal element of the crime. Same as someone knowingly selling you a fake Rolex watch. The only difference is that if you bought the watch and then discovered it was a fake, you would call the police. These humpers are presenting these faked items as the real thing. They clearly SAY its the real thing. But has anyone who has purchased from them called the police for being swindled? No. Additionally, it is happening across state lines so that makes it a federal offense. Now, with that said, I am not dense enough to think that the FBI or ATF (since is it C&R related) is going to drop every violent crime or terrorism investigation to worry about a $45 stock being humped and then sold for $120. But will someone WHO IS IN A VICTIM STATUS please make a police report !?!?!?!?!? I wish I had the time and money and collector's reputation - I would buy one and the report it as a fake once I received it and verified that it was faked.

Good way to put it Rangemaster.

Humping parts is off the hook these days. I haven't bought any carbine parts for quite some time now just because of that. I'm in need of an NPM type II stock and have my order in with the premier carbine stock guy that I know can be trusted. Other than that, I'll do without.
