I love the ones who try to sell obvious fakes, declaring them to be real. The worst I ever saw was some idiot who claimed to have "M-1 Garand serial # 25" It was, of course, a total fake. It had a Winchester Receiver, for starters, along with a Winchester gas cylinder. What interested me the most was the fact that all of the original markings on the receiver had been ground off and replaced with obvious Laser etchings. At least he was smart enough to know that Model Shop #25 would have been a Springfield Armory gun.
I asked him what he wanted, and he said it wasn't for sale, but he proudly announced that he had been offered $4000 for it. I told him that $4000 wouldn't even begin to pay his bail if he were caught. He told me to go to hell. I told him I would probably go to the ATF instead. I reminded him that sometimes an agent will attend a show, just to see what illegalities they might find.
Five minutes later the gun had been removed.
