Section 4: Guns/General Subject: Gun Room Msg# 1095144

I asked that same question out loud, and my son pointed out that, BATFE definition of real gun aside, those display guns are in fact usually 85 to 95% real guns, with a demilled real receiver, occasionally a remanufactured non-firing receiver, but occasionally a functional receiver with a plugged barrel. Usually a variation on those themes. So what you have is a lot of expensive parts of real, and expensive, firearms, making up those display guns. Keep in mind the people rebuilding and servicing their function machineguns are "fighting" for parts with the people building "dummy guns" according to what the BATFE is calling them, so of course those dummy guns are going to be expensive.
I'd never considered it that way before. Makes sense. |

For reference, the above message is a reply to a message where: Ladies shower room? Okay, I could be persuaded. 
Sorry. Guess I've seen too many "women in prison" movies. Not only do those display-only guns exist, they seem to bring prices that compete with real guns! Stu |
I never could figure that out.
