Bringing it back from the dead. I was wondering if someone could tell me if these are real Knights Armament rails. From the research I have done the only thing missing is the cage number but its got the correct patent number. Im confident the vert grip is real, but Im not sure about the rails. These are the pics the seller sent me:

Mine, an older RAS, doesn't have a cage no. either.

I don't have any personal experience with KAC's factory seconds, but from what I've read here it usually has something to do with either the tint of the anodizing or the laser-etching being a bit off. Whatever their aesthetic defects may be, they are in no way a physically defective rail.

Here's some threads on KAC factory seconds:
