Absolutely 100% legitimate PTS handguards, with correct packaging and everything, can be ordered from Hong Kong for 20 bucks a piece. I know because I have one and have compared it against "real" PTS handguards -- which by the way come labelled as legit PTS with guns also from Hong Kong (G&P). There is absolutely no difference:
- not in the weight,
- not in the seams,
- not in the look/texture of the plastic,
- not in the color,
- not in the logos/markings,
- not in the fit,
- not in the bendyness,
- not in the sound it makes when you knock on it,
- not even the smell of the plastic
There's nothing magical about high-strength plastic pressed into moulds and shipped in cardboard boxes. The more magical we think these things are, the more local retailers will apply 1000% markups on them. These are just simple pieces of plastic, think about all the other plastic things that are much larger and more complex that also cost 20 bucks or less and whose ""authenticity"" is not in question.
If a self-styled expert can find me at a game and guess which of the two PTS handguards I have in my team is the one that came to my doorstep with free shipping for $19.99, I'll pay for their game, buy them a bag of BBs and a case of beer.
