  1. Default Fake 1903 Sniper Rifle on Rock Island Auction

    Beware, as this is a poorly done, fake sniper rifle. Long list of incorrect features. Anyone that buys this rifle at the suggested price is a complete and utter fool.

    Beware of RIA. Descriptions are NOT ALWAYS CORRECT or fact!

    It's not the first "big money" gun that Rock Island has failed to properly describe. I don't
    know where they get their information or how they authenticate it.

    Perhaps you could help those of us not expert in sniper rifles by listing the improper features/problems?

    They don't check with anybody and if the buyer get it and sees it's fake they woun't take it back. I'd rate them below used car salesmen and as close to crooks as you can get.

    Default Rock Island Auction phony items

    I am a lawyer in Los Angeles who bought some phony items from Rock Island and I am now suing them. I would welcome all information relating to their selling phony items. Thanks, Jim

    From the link looks like someone bought it. Hell chuck in Denver would
    Make you a better copy for 15% of that price.
