It might deserve one, but it doesn't take but a few minutes to snap a couple shots. The ones you've already provided aren't photo album worthy, so something quick and simple like that would be great....

RN is a clean maker of sights, but side shots would clarify what makes people say, hmmm, are we sure about that?
Especially when image 5 shows grime from the barrel band that appears to be where a...
Have you got side shots of the rear sight? Something looks like it needs clarifying about it.
Also, in 5th image looks like it has bayonet band wear and dirt?
Have you got an overhead shot of the...
Trying to keep my cold natured old convertible Pontiac from stalling at a stop sign one cool morning, the police officer (which I saw) sitting at the other stop sign didn't feel I completed my stop....
Ditto that. The last sentence especially.
More deflection isn't going to change the outcome. It wasn't me who brought up the Chinese. You stated that no harm can be done by revealing how to ID real and fake sights. All I did was prove that...
You must be pretending to miss the point. People aren't going to tell any general, unknown forum readers how to better fake their parts. Again, your assertion was already proven false.
...
And all people who love cars, guitars or women all love the exact same type. Totally false.
It doesn't confirm it at all because there is all level of fakers out there. Chinese manufacturers...
M2s pop up several per year. It's not unusal. This isn't the first one on GB in the past year. Not a good situation all the way around.
It probably would've been better to not post the story and...
That's another good point there. Exactly. It's a laziness on the part of some of the population that this nation has been trained into expecting. All the info on them is out there but people today...
He asked one question and it was answered in full and a request was made for better pics to be certain. Anyone with credibility can witness that. PWC, your response was to butt in with an insulting...
Imports can sometimes have a decent part or two. I've gotten them with high wood stocks or Rockola parts with a little value.
Exel would be easy to read. The marks that take a loop typically are on bottom of the barrel. The INTRAC ones are right behind the rear sight on bottom. Not sure I've ever seen a tiny mark on the...
I'm just an enthusiast. A hobbiest. So I buy terrible parts and Carbines along with nice stuff. His help was given. As said by everyone, better pics are needed to truly evaluate so nothing posted...
It's been a long time since I've read those links I provided but wasn't it Federal Ordnance that welded some GI receivers? And I do sorta now recall something about a soft receiver from one of those...
Alpine made a good receiver. The Alpine receiver you looked at wasn't defective, it was a design aspect. The holes in the long spring hole are intentional to avoid the problem with drilling the deep...
Agree that there were some select ones that people got which were pretty interesting. Some people just didn't know how to order to get a good one thinking the unissued to excellent condition was...
The dark one looks terrible, but also suggests to be real. The cleaner one so far looks more real than reproduction, but does need closer/larger pics. One feature of it says repop, but other shots...
Having mulitple IPs can be addictive too. And originals of any maker are nearly irresistible.
Given the choice, perhaps consider going with a Fulton Armory receiver and add the USGI parts if 'new' is what you're after? It's a great receiver.
Yes. The worst commercial receiver I've owned was an Erma. Terrible receiver. Soft metal. Slide grooves, bolt grooves were all easily buggered. They should've stuck with the .22. Only good thing was...

I'm struggling with the image posting.
I'm still looking the pics over. Thanks. Based on the pics you've got a nice little Carbine. I'm not the best on U, but what you've got represents well, and everything looks to be USGI. Some things...
Pics are also used to determine if it has reproduction parts on it. That's about half the value.
Are you interested in selling it?
