LOTS!--there's an epidemic of fake "original" gun boxes being peddled on-line, like the red S&W boxes that had been selling for $500--that kind of money makes high-quality fakery profitable. Restored Winchesters like M61s in fake boxes listed on GB are continually being exposed by experts on the Winchester forum knowledgeable enough to detect minor errors in the repro labels & boxes. You'd be better served to burn the hang tags and boxes, and look closely at the M61s themselves, such as the early octagon barreled versions, and the 22 Shot versions.

Those are among the guns most often faked by re-building more common models, because no ser. no. records for them exist. But since such fakes are selling for huge sums, $5000 range in not more, mainly on internet auctions, it's mostly the fat-cats getting burned, which I find amusing. If so many fools weren't parted so easily from so much money, the counterfeit gun racket probably wouldn't exist, or would at least be scaled back drastically.

	Reminds me of a bit of ocean front property that sits in Arizona that I bought from a guy back in the 80's that had on a cowboy hat, think he was from Texas and sang some
