If I'm not mistaken, the guns that are piles of parts are guns that were sent in for warranty work. I could be mistaken though.
I saw one of these on the EE for like $1400 yesterday. I laughed. What a joke, who would spend that kind of money on a niche pistol that has no warranty, no spare parts, and no support?
I get it, lots of people buy norincos that have similar levels of warranty and support, but at least they're cheap, and you can often fit parts from the guns they copied (eg Sig parts in an NP22/34, Browning parts in the knock off takedown 22lr)
