This is NOT an original sniper buttplate

[mrfarb]

Another fake being sold as original, most people don't know or do know and are dishonest.

I'm breaking the no auction rule since this isn't a gun and it's not real.

Ok, I have a couple similar to these I have picked up over the years, one in Moscow (1996) and one from a German seller (2009), any points I should be looking for ?? Neither one was very expensive. Skid

This one is very close to the original. You can only identify it for being a fake, since it wouldn't have the checkering around the screwing holes on the inside if it were original.

Looked via google, the only image of an original one I found was this here:

that repro is blued as well. should be a red-flag. That's a real good repro and they also don't fit well.

Some original sniper buttplates appeared on Yugo reworked K98k's, they were then also reblued. So blueing isn't necessarily always a feature of a fake sniper buttplate.

You can *ONLY* identify originals by looking on the inside of a buttplate! Pictures from the outside are worth NOTHING!

These are NOT Fake but the Sniper Buttplate is! That's all you need to know.
