[QUOTE="Perplexed, post: 1956934, member: 7157"] It's the cartouches that are faked - anyone who collects M1 Garands and Carbines should know there's no such thing as an all matching M1. If they get taken otherwise, they deserve it for not doing some very basic homework first. All-original M1s are so exceedingly rare, any rifle claimed as such without solid documentation should automatically be suspect. Sometimes rare metal parts like WW2 barrels and op rods will also be restamped or otherwise faked, or modern repros swapped in and passed off as original. But it's usually the stock that gets faked.
