I buy a lot I probably shouldn't have, but at prices I know I could for sure make my money back at the least. Extra holes in the metal is a quick way to make it hard to do so. Probably doesn't matter though since I've never sold a gun. Now it I could only find a 1899 project receiver. Turns out that is more difficult than I thought. No wood, doesn't have to have a barrel and don't care about the metal finish. I thought that would be a slam dunk.
