$2M In Counterfeit GLOCK Magazines Seized By CBP

One wonders how much other counterfeit kit is out there... Saw a shop here selling "5.11" back packs you could sneeze through.

We used to get fake split AC units, fake HP toner cartridges and scariest of all, fake RCD's and MCB's. They have no internals, the input is directly connected to the output!

Is there no quality checks of this s*** coming into our country anymore?

The nature of them been counterfeit means they will try always to bypass the checks or even be manufactured in a shed at the bottom of a garden somewhere in the UK

My old man used to work for a company that carries out quality control checks on imported and exported goods on behalf of the buyer, he inspected a container full of brake pads being bought into the country, he opened a packet to check the contents and there was quite a bit of the friction material loose in the box so he rejected them, turns out after they had been analysed one of the materials used to make them was dried grass !!!! , he also checked 4 caterpillar D8's which were being shipped to the middle east, when he checked the serial numbers with Caterpillar to make sure they weren't stolen, they were on a short term hire direct from Caterpillar.

To be fair Gazza, that stuff wasn't coming into the UK. At least thats not where I came across it. They were brands that are available in the UK though.
You can also buy 200 B@H fags for $2!

fake NGK spark plugs are my pet hate,

Wahooo that is cheap . 20 or 200 ? A legit pack of 20 in Ukraine is less than a quid.

We have customers try to source replacements for our inks which are therefore counterfeit. Becomes very expensive.

With thing like fake rcds etc. This is why certain stuff like that I'll only buy from proper dealers not some no name website

No, two hundred! All brands were available. That was in the market. In the official shops they were about $17 for 200.
