Fake Para 3?

#1

Post by Panzer Cop »

Hello,

I purchased this off eBay, and after seeing an amazon review of the PM2 which complained he received a fake PM3, listing this such as a sharp lanyard hole, a sharp (non-rounded) 90 degree handle scale piece just below the compression lock, a gap between the liner on the right side liner and the handle scale (noticeable from the back). I didn't think fake PM3's were in circulation and I'm trying to figure this out if I need to send it back. I know the lanyard holes aren't supposed to be sharp/have a burr on PM2's, is it the same for PM3's? Every picture I look at its hard to tell but my lanyard hole is definitely sharp, as well and the inner handle scales having quite a sharp uncomfortable edge to them.

All help/insight would be appreciated. Do your PM3's have the same features as mine?
