Howls of "Fraud!" on Mosin Board

I followed a promotional link from Gunboards.com to a thread on the Mosin Collector's Board on a recent faked Mosin. To say those guys were pissed, is an understatement...it went on for 4 pages.

What I found distressing is the sheer number of "reproduction" inspector's stamps available from Poland and other sources on Ebay.
Handfuls of them ! If Dirt Bags find it profitable to fake Mosins, it really makes me wonder about things like Luger magazines.

I've seen the occasional post - "Watch out for .....", but are there any organized attempts to "out" these fraudsters?
