That's a retailer. Probably some joke they have going on their FB page or something.

actually you're right. I didn't spot that, I still don't understand why they have done that though...

 
Could be raffling a gun or something, seems to be the in thing lately, and 'buy this little thing and get a free entry' seems to be a legal loophole

indeed, it's a tricky one, end of the day something's only worth what someone's willing to pay for it.

like my mg42 conversion, to comission a tech to do that would cost a lot given what's been done, but at the end of the day it's now a very specialised bit of kit that unless you really want that particular use case it's pretty much worthless.

100% this , I think ‘niche’ market sums your 42 up perfectly ? Don’t know about you lot but the sites I play it appears it’s only the ‘modern influence’ players running HPA , Evo’s/racing M4’s/etc so not the kind of players who’d want a WW2 support gun ?

very niche, although even more so as an hpa given that's going to ruin any interest from the re-enactors market. funny my logic was i wanted a ww2 gun and the mp40/stg didn't do it for me which left the k98 (and getting outgunned) or the 42 which i reckoned the 42 was modern enough to still be relevant (given it's lineage is still in service).

that said we had a showing yesterday from a ww2 russian commissar running a very nice ebb ppsh41, so there are folk out there willing to take on something different.

of course i'll openly admit if i want to actually be effective i'd still pick up the m4 over anything else, but then you can't play too seriously in this game.

you would at the minute, it's been out of action for a long while during this conversion, currently got the air system ok but i've been having to upgrade the mag to cope with the requirements, currently working on setting up an m60 mag mech to run off the old motor from the f2000, i suppose i could have accepted it as it was but it's become a project of curiosity at this point :P

When you first posted it I also thought “as if !” But then i had one of those ‘niggling’ feelings in the back of the melon that I’d seen one somewhere ,

but still looks nasty ! ??

 
For some reason I thought the JPC has a stitched crye tag across the top left hand side just under the shoulder strap/diagonal from the edge of the plate bag, not sure if I've made that up or what but after looking through marketplace and seeing a whole host of dreamers maybe I was blinded by the insane amount of shit!!!

Anyone need some glass tent pegs?

Wonder if it’s Crye ’lite’ ? “yea it’s a real Crye JPC !” , but it’s not really .

Bit like the Porsche boxter, it’s a Porsche, but it’s not really. Its sold to the guy who as a kid said “one day I’ll be so successful I’ll buy my self a Porsche !” But unfortunately they wern’t and couldn’t afford a real Porsche, but never forgot this boast so Porsche launched the boxter to help soothe there failed ego ? 

?????

It’s a crye 1.0, only way of telling these are legit are the little size tags; which this one has.

@clumpyedge the crye JPC 2.0 has the little crye black label on the left side, not the 1.0.

Thanks for clearing that up mate, I know I had seen the label but wasn't sure which it was on. Strange that the JPC 1.0. doesn't really have anything other than what I can only describe as a Mil coloured size label and nothing else.
