I'd like to see a better view of the milling cut in the stocks slide well....just in front of the wood bridge.
I'm not convinced it's a RMC stock.

Poor buyer, $3728 for a fake.

You almost don't know who to blame the most. The seller or the buyer. The seller is definitely misrepresenting the "Rock-Ola" by not disclosing it's a put together with incorrect and fake parts. The buyer is willing to put down a chunk of change with an obvious severe lack of knowledge. Unless he comes to his senses in three days, it will be a very hard lesson to learn.

Looks like the inside of the barrel is messed up too.

Well, you guys are at it again. I hate to be so critical but since you are ridiculously so, it makes it a little easier. Once again, anything posted on here that one of you don't own is a complete fake. I agree some of the stuff on this one is bogus, fake, questionable, whatever, but you have pegged everything but the receiver as being fake. I'll go ahead and say it, the receiver is a fake too. He obviously built it with an Erector set in his basement. You are again making the mistaken assumption that every part, cartouche, stamping, mill mark, etc, is exactly the same on every gun produced by a particular contractor. I think you all know how many prime and sub contractors were used for this effort. They weren't worried about uniformity of all of these minor "collectors" issues, nor did they achieve it. And, just how many guns that are sold on GB or wherever do you think are in perfect "bring back" condition, that still has every original part in it? Almost none? But I'm sure all of your guns are just perfect.

tough crowd
Yep, tough crowd, BUT they know way more than I do! I've been off the board over a year or more (since before they left the old CSP), but back then they kept me out of trouble when I asked questions BEFORE I bought.
They are very helpful and don't mind no-nothings like me asking for advice. I, for one, thank them for their help. Being an executive member of a different firearms forum board, I know how tiring answering the same question over and over again from new, new members. This is actually a fairly patient and VERY helpful crowd.
They helped me identify my current carbine as probably having been a Mash Az Israeli police weapon, when I had no idea what I had. They were helpful with my questions about the late production Inland (Type II rear sight, Type 3 band) that was like the one my Dad had on Iwo Jima, Unfortunately, the barrel was poor and it had minute of milk jug accuracy) Thanks guys.

mscarbines,
This one has some of the worst fake markings I've seen. If a seller has a carbine with several very poor fake parts (and especially markings) that jump out like this one did, the whole carbine is suspect. These crooks make me sick.
I feel very sorry for the buyer. He's buying from faith in human decency.
He'll eventually show the gun to a knowledgeable collector. At first he'll be in denial. He may or may not believe the collector's knowledge and try to blow off what he hears. Later he'll find that other knowledgeable collectors will see obvious issues. Some might not even tell him because they feel bad for him, but he'll know they see problems. He may stay in denial but in the back of his mind the joy will be gone.
