Yes no live actions but turds were accepted. As experienced K98k collectors we see these as laughable junk and could spot these faster then Hillary's erased emails. But I remember back in 2008 when I first started collecting. I thought Mitchells Mausers were the real deal, it was thanks too some certain people that change my oplioion.
Ask yourself how many new collectors join this forum everyday that have no clue? Most of them believe if it has war eagles on it and someone mentions matching numbers it has too be real. Classic arms is a perfect example because those buyers believe their buying from a trusted source and they came from a private collection.
I believe if these threads save one person from getting burned a couple $1000. I think its worth a try.
But I will start posting more of these at Dave's forum and post the really good fakes here instead.
Now if that fake duel code with the fake capture papers comes back up for sale again thats being talked about. I hate that rifle!
