    I don't like the look of that stock cartouche...

    are the breeches of the cannons on the ordanance wheel little too big?

    guys chime in. Where is the DCM or CMPicon letter? None even mentioned in his ad. Rather let some1 with more expertise than me in M1C's pronounce this 1 real or not.Hairs on the back of my neck raising,on the description of the mount, and the cartouche. no where does it say it is a G&H mount, just correctly machined, is this a case of legal doublespeak, with no recourse to buyer?

    Lemme ask a dumb question:

    Why would an M1C receiver need a CMP letter?

    a slew of drilled & plugged M1C receivers have been sold by both DCM & CMP

    over the years as "M1C" receivers, I'd really like Scott Duff or one of the guys to take a hard look @ this before I spent that kinda money for it.The money I would spend for a "restored/built M1C" would be considerably less than for one of the originals. The wording in his ad makes me uneasy. It's almost like it was worded by an attorney to say & not say the mount is an original G&H@ the same time.

    Maybe I'm overcautious, but not with my money.

    Way too few pictures and too sparse a description for a big ticket item.

    The buttstock seems to be in question. I for one would like to know why the cheekpad is detached? Was it ever installed?

    Regards,

    Jim

    You are 100% correct. Pictures are of poor quality and too few of them, description leaves more questions than answers to a potential buyer. However the receiver is authentic.

    Thanks everyone. I have not yet heard back from the seller on further pictures and information. Appreciate the comments and advice, I will steer clear for awhile. Just blew most of my money on a 1918a3 Ohio Ord. BAR anyway! Thanks again.
