I agree with us019225 100% and was also going to bring up 'novice education'. And I do not think many fakers, if any, get their education from forums. They probably know as much or more then most. Talk about 'elitist', you guys are the only ones who know so you don't want to educate fakers? Ha, ha! They only fake rare and expensive parts, sell to novices. I asked if I saw 'stake marks' at sight on one of the carbines, and got no answer, fakers have no control over that. I only own three carbines, mix-master and CMP military rebuilds. I really know little about them but I guess this forum is no place to get educated!
Fake's are a problem with any expensive collection, even non gun collections. Most collectors share their knowledge freely! Share knowledge and 'fakers' will find it harder to find buyers!
