They go to that much trouble because a 1907 carbine is generally around the $2kUSD mark, also these were shortened at the source(not by GC) in a surplus warehouse where they are probably tripping over spare mosin parts, if you have mosin parts in a big bin somewhere in europe they can throw together a run of poorly faked carbines and sell them as a substitute until you can afford the real deal. Where GC is doing the dodgy is knowingly selling fakes as the real thing.
