Heck, you can buy complete M1 Garands on the same search results for less than these guys are asking for run-of-the-mill stripped receivers. I think I paid about $250 for my Grade C receiver. Granted, that was back around 2008 or so but to ask $200 to $300 more than a CMP rack grade complete gun? That's just nuts. As for the 1911 pistols, I didn't sign up for the lottery system to pay a bunch of money for a box of chocolates. You never know what you get until you open it. IF they were selling them in the stores where you could see what you are getting, maybe. But that's more money than I can afford to just toss dice on.
