[QUOTE="Neanderthal, post: 3155589, member: 3746"] I happen to have a legit Mission Force Tactical Minimalist stock here along with a clone, so I thought I would take a few pics to show the differences. I'm sure there are other clones of this stock out there, but this is what I have on hand. From first appearances, they look strikingly similar. [ATTACH=full]124182[/ATTACH] First, you will notice that the clone has molding marks from the casting process clearly visible on the right hand side. [ATTACH=full]124183[/ATTACH] The original MFT has the same casting marks, but they are on the left hand side. [ATTACH=full]124184[/ATTACH] Although the logos on the pseudo-MFT stock are nicely done, the logos (on both sides) of the legit MFT stock are much deeper recessed. (Sorry for the crappy pic). [ATTACH=full]124185[/ATTACH] The rubber butt-pad on the MFT stock has a logo at the top, where the fakerino does not. NOTE: I have seen images of other clones that DO have the logo visible on the butt, but they aren't typically as clearly defined. [ATTACH=full]124186[/ATTACH] The molding marks on the bottom of the butt-pad are also different. [ATTACH=full]124187[/ATTACH] The overall "smoothness" of the polymer is also different. However, unless you have both of them in hand it may be hard to differentiate a fake from a proper MFT stock. This picture does a great job of showing the contrasting differences; moreso than you can see with the naked eye. [ATTACH=full]124188[/ATTACH] The MFT stock runs around $50, while the clones are available for less than half that price (I picked this one up on E-bay for $20). [/QUOTE]
