nobody?

The Polymer80 Spectre.

Glock 17 parts are through the roof now though.

>>30182013
Yeah, 80% 1911s are a whole other league of difficulty and cost.

>>30182655

some guy on calguns managed to do it with just a file, looks like it takes effort and setup but not impossible

>>30182013

1911s are not that hard

>>30182266
Yes but 22 parts are still at alright prices if you can tolerate 40 slow and weak, also conversion barrels are only 95$

>>30182013
Mosin Virus on Youtube just did a Sig, this part one, he did three videos about it.

pretty cool, too bad that 80% is so expensive

Are there any of these 'ghost guns' that actually make money sense to do?

It seems like you end up paying more for a DIY project than for just buying a gun.

ARs and AKs are below cost if you know what you're doing, how to do it and have basic tooling.

1911s you break even

everything else you lose money for the most part, unless you pick up kits from people who gave up or lost interest.

Welcome to modern manufacturing. Recently, I was going to build a DVD rack for my growing movie collection. The cost of all the materials (wood, screws, hardware, paint, etc) added up to the cost of just buying a new one. We live in a sad, sad world.

They do if you want to preserve your privacy. Why the hell else do you imagine there's a thriving market for them?

>>30182700
Is there anywhere you can get 1911 kits anymore? Sarco is sold out

>>30183565
>ordering ghost gun parts online with a credit card

>talking about it on online forums

>searching internet for info on how to do it

>thinking you have privacy

>>30183675

Well played.

>>30183570

Sarco re-ups a few times a year, just have to stay on top of it and check daily. No idea why they don't have a waitlist. It's BS, but that's the way it is. There are others but they're too expensive. Could fight for kits on gunbroker or ebay but that's always a crap shoot.

>>30183735
Neat. I'll gheck if they have a "notify me" option. What all needs to be machined with a 1911 blank? I imagine it could be a pain

>>30183815

Most blanks require rail cuts, barrel seat cut, hammer and sear holes. Also need to pin on a spring housing. Could be done with a dremel, a drill and a dream. Don't get sarco's blanks they're basically 40% blanks.

>>30183901
Good to know, I have access to a drill press, bits, and a pawn shop with several dremels. Any input on who sells good frame assemblies?

>>30183926

believe it or not, sportsman's guide.

They're no-name blanks with jigs included.

Good luck with your endeavors. Cut slow, always easier to remove material than add it.

Well, by the time all this stuff is back in stock I can probably just buy one normally (I'm 20 now)
Auto ordinance 1911a1s are ~$500 on gunbroker

>>30182679

this guy built a 2011 with a dremel, a drill press, and hand files.

>>30183501

a custom 2011 costs $3.5-4.5k mainly because of all the hand fitting involved in building a custom race gun. you can knock off $2-3k if you build it yourself. even for a super gucci steel grip gun you'll probably spend $2k in parts at most.

>>30183501
its almost equal with an ar15 if you dont have to buy tools
takes multiple aks to break even and not even close for anything else

>We live in a sad, sad world
you're just retarded and don't understand economies of scale

>>30183501

it ain't about money, 3d printed frames is the only way to get certain off-roster models in CA (since scalpers always charge at least $2000 even for beat to shit hi-powers)
