Trying to understand the franken gun

[simpleman]

Hello all,

I am trying to understand the prices of these franken guns. I understand that typically price affects quality however these guns that are flooding the E.E at prices much higher than orginal equipment. Now this not a rant intended to be locked out but I just don't get it. If they were assembled by red jacket firearms or any professional gunsmith I could understand,but not by joe blow family armourer. Like I said not trying to stir the pot. I would just like to understand reasoning behind it.

Would it not be better to disassemble them and sell off as parts as opposed to getting low balled and losing anyways. Cause let's face it no one is gonna buy them and not change it up a little.


Thanks in advance for any input

AR15's are not cars. Assembling an AR is not exactly rocket science. There is nothing inherently better about a rifle all assembled by a single company. I used to work at a company assembling AR15's but as soon as I do it on my own, suddenly that rifle is no good?

If a bitsa gun has a lot of expensive parts then why not ask a higher price?
