Need quick advice on authenticity of CAI "PU"

Post by Combos »

Hi all!

Asking price is $900, could a pro look over the pictures and let me know if this is a repro or authentic?

I noticed the stock has the Russian refurb mark, scope looks legit, front site doesn't look offset, but CAI still worries me.

Thoughts?

Lousy pics, and they seem to intentionally omit certain pic angles to 100% verify, but I am 90% sure it is a CAI reproduction.

Reproduction is another word for FAKE or bubba`d rifle. It's value is only in the parts.
