Extremely fake.

Thank you! Is the S rune on the reciever real and maybe someone faked the heads?

 

[chrisftk]

Yeah, that thing is a mess--two firing proofs??

 

[wolfgolf96]

Also the firing proofs are on the wrong side. Should be on the left side and serial numbered only on the receiver. What even is that barrel?!?!

Double proofed, ought to be good for at least 125k !

Reciever looks like someone booger welded up a capture mark or mount hole.

Can someone tell me what I do have here? It was only $450 I should add so I'm trying to figure out if it's even worth making into a complete gun. I figure the reciever was worth a few hundred the barrel sounds a bit more complicated at this point

Extremely fake. May make a decent shooter/sporter project though.

I actually have a photo of the guy who made it:

Oh Boy! Those numbers are so crooked the guy must have been shite-faced when he stamped them.

You could just grind the marks off and sell it as a deer rifle build.

Return if possible. That looks rough.

Terrible Def Heads - where is the keeper of such?

 

[Remfan]

Probably could publish another book on all the faked, Bubba jobs, and carnival barking bullshit. Might have to be 1000 pages to read though. Too many fall for the hack jobs we all know.

 

[Bigdibbs88]

Next level bad

 

[bigwagon]

Only $450?! That's about 3x what it's worth in that shape. If you're stuck with it, about the best you can do it spend the minimum possible to make it a shooter.
