I guess it make sense from that standpoint but I can't help looking at it from the standpoint of a cheap buyer; why would anyone pay that kind of money for a non-functioning gun just because some of the parts are real?
For a wall-hanger, I would be just as happy with a die-cast replica but that's just me. Stu |

For reference, the above message is a reply to a message where: 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. |
