Fresh Batch Of Fakes

I messaged the guy and asked him why he sells crap like this.I haven't heard back from him yet but I will be interested to see what he says. I told him the manufacturers that are making reproduction M1 carbines as of the present day would put their own marking on the stock so these would be used for nothing but to deceive. Let's see what his moral reasoning is in selling these

You probably won't hear back or it will be acrimonious, not constructive or informative. Doesn't matter...

Gotta pay for his Crack

lol, he in fact did email me back and quite a long one.he gave me a story of how he is a gun enthusiast as well and is disabled and has to do it to make ends meet lol.he said he has been contacted before by other gun enthusiast but hasn't had one in over 2 years until I emailed him. He really never did answer my question as to why the fake stamps to make fake markings.he told me he makes them himself and has an inventory of over 200 different ones.....wow. he basically said he makes them for persons who put the stamping under the butt stock plate???? And said that he was sorry that some people decide to use them to trick people (lol, what in the world else would he think people would use them for).Charlie,if I can get the wife to show me how to forward an email to you I will if you are interested in reading the email he sent to me.you can plainly tell he was trying to give me a sob story to feel sorry for him. I have heard it all now, I make stamps to fool people because I am disabled lmao

Better not forward it, I can't be laughing at anything right now.
I Dis-placed a couple ribs a short while back, hurts to laugh, cough, etc.
I've had 13 Orthopedic surgeries over the years, I still found it easier to work than think about making a living some crooked way.
There are many here in worse shape than me......... I don't see them Crying to strangers.

Bardal did what my Father always warned me not to do:
Don't step in Sh!t if you don't want to smell like it.

you know he used to offer a stamping service...... until Ebay shut that down.
Back then you could see who the winning bidder was and I copied hundreds of pages of who bought what or used his service. Some of the 'Long Timers' here and elsewhere know it as The List.

Let him eat stamps !!!

That would be very valuable and telling info later in life. Save lots of money too...not buying spurious...

I know it makes no difference either way, I was just wanting to satisfy my own curiosity mostly and thought I would share his reply in case anyone else was curious as well. Honesty seems to be a fading trait these days

Yea,
But I'm sure he claims that income to the IRS and his Disability $$ provider....... all 2,064 transactions that are just on Ebay as a seller since 2002.
This doesn't cover person to person sales. Or buyers that don't leave feedback.
If I take his sale prices for the last 25 items sold they total $2,156.05 divided by 25 = an average of $86.24
I know this is rough math, but 2,000 items sold @ $86.24 = $172,480.00
Now factor in he's been doing this (that we know of) for 16 years, that breaks down to an average of $10,780 per year since 2002.
There's no way to guess at how much profit has been made by those using these stamps when selling stocks off to unsuspecting buyers.
And no way to account for the monetary losses to these wood buyers.
So the wood gets unloaded on another unknowing buyer...... sold off over and over and over.
Quite the scam, but the buyers of these stamps should share the shame.
Worst of all is all the GI wood being for ever ruined.
Does anyone think for a minute these stamps get used just once then thrown away ?
History destroyed with a whack or two.

Don't believe my numbers?

As far as his 'Poor Ole Me' Emailed message I'd equate that to someone p!ssing on a Vets grave site saying they were just trying to kill the weeds.

JMO,

If he’s sold more than 200 items totaling more than $20,000, PayPal would have issued a 1099. That’s the law.

If he didn’t pay taxes against that 1099...well he’s a braver man than I!

[painter777]

Remember ...
He got started way back before Pay Pal was required.

My main point........ I hate these Humper Helpers!
