Having once been an employee of Sarco...

Be VERY suspicious of the "originality" of "original" parts procured from them.

I personally unpacked many a case of parts from India and Pakistan and China that were then passed off as "originals". Everything from M1C scope mounts to firing pins for Pattern 17 Enfields. You would not believe the selection of fake parts that were passed off to people. The selection of fake proof stamps was amusing as well...

"You want one Waffenamt marked? ... I'll be right back." (sound of hammering in the back room). "Here ya go... I found it in the back of the bin... it's just an extra $50..."...

Caveat Emptor. Order, but be ready to return. My guess is that the ones advertised are from India.
