RKI- Reasonably Knowledgable Individual
... IMO, the current seller hasn't been holding this one for 10 yrs before selling. I imagine Larry E happened to buy and flip recently, and the magic happened in the past (as was already mentioned).
I agree Bob. I don't see him (or his people) doing it. He moves waaay to much merchandise to worry about shite like that. Should he have known better? Probably, but as Jordan said I really don't think he looks at all of it (or even most of it). But somebody obviously did it. Just like the whole batches of faked up rifles Ben sold out of some 'collection' recently. As I recall there was not one that didn't have some (or many) questionable parts, stamps and s/n. Somebody did those too. On a fairly large scale.
