Parts Guns.
Every serious collector needs to shop around for "clunkers" that cost very little and contain many useful parts that support better arms in the collection. A casual perusal of parts prices in "Shotgun News" convinced me to pick up some rough-as-a-cob arms for the parts.
I am amazed at the prices for used stocks, firing pins, extractors and everything else that goes on a gun. For less than $100, I picked up 5 arms that had ruined bores. All the other parts are serviceable and that will make this a good year. The arms are: 98k, MkIII, 6.5 Italian Carbine, P-17 and M1911 Swiss. Adam

Dog Yeller,
The stock on the 1911 Swiss is a cut down carbine stock. The prior owner tossed away the handguard and bands. Adam

My 1911 was sporterized. I was thinking since it was still 7.5x55 I would restore it. I've been looking for the wood since I bought it.

Parts guns
The only problem with buying parts guns is that once cannibalized, you have a lot of clunkers sitting around. Better to buy decent guns and fix them up. Just the idle thoughts of an idle fellow. Take care...
