Buying on Rock Island Auction Company

[usabaker]

I was out looking at the current offerings in RIA. I've never bought something on that site because it really doesn't give a lot of information on the rifle. For instance;

Lot 1207: U.S. Springfield Model 1899 Krag-Jorgensen Bolt Action Carbine

It shows right and left sides no receivers marking, doesn't tell you anything about the bore, really there is nothing to go off of. Why would anyone but a firearm from them or am I just missing something?

or better yet this Lot 3461: U.S. Remington 03-A4 Sniper w/Scope, Case, Tools Man I would love to have this rifle but how do I even know its the real thing without any good information or pictures?
