Ok so I've had some of these questions on my mind for quite awhile and it seems like a good time to ask with the recent poster.
What is the big attraction to parts kits? I have seen them advertised since i was a kid back in the days of shotgun news, what good are they? I guess i could see the AK variants if you wanted to do one of those flat sheet 80% AK builds and do a "ghost gun"(i hate that term!) but these are fairly recent as far as i know. I have seen a few(very few) other examples where people rebuilt,made or somehow used another receiver and made a semi auto version of the full auto gun from the parts kit. I have also seen where these are made into dummy display guns for older or rarer guns too. Anyway what is the big attraction to these parts kits and are there other reasons or purposes for these kits that I'm not aware of? I totally get maybe doing a dummy gun of a historically significant gun that you couldn't otherwise own unless you were rich.I guess I'm just not seeing the attraction to why these kits are pretty common and desirable.
