Are online auction sites usually full of 'suspect' rifles?

The presence of a Hatcher Hole does not make a rifle a USMC piece. The lack of one also does not make a rifle NOT a USMC piece. The rifle in this discussion has a Hatcher Hole. The 1.5 serial number is late and the receivers were manufactured with Hatcher Holes in that time frame.

buy it for the scope
Well really rare, high-end items like original USMC sniper tend to move from one advanced collector to another. For an item to show up on an internet auction or at a gun show means you really have to do your homework if you are thinking of buying. Remember the number of these probably never exceeded more than about 1000. Of those how many were used up in the South Pacific and Korea?

That is what I was thinking, but I guess some people have more money than common sense.
Ah, but remember always that sins of omission are worse than sins of comission!
