Kyrie, I agree that the seller's desription of this repro carbine is spurious at best. But I would never equate this to replacing a part on a pistol with an ORIGINALLY FACTORY NUMBERED matching part of the same era and correct die style and placement (commerical vs military, Mauser vs DWM or others that require a proofed part, Mauser 1934&5 narrow aspect dies vs later, etc). In other words, if the replacement part is not exactly right, why bother. Worse yet, if the part is renumbered to match, this is fakery.
