Well, it's that time of year again!

yesterday was a huge auction of 1911 parts / M1 / M1 carbine etc. I was interested, but forgot.
I bet there are parts locked away by the thousands - somewhere

An auction lot with the internal parts for a couple of dozen Erma toggle pistols came and went on Gunbroker. I'd been outbid, I think, and planned to snipe the auction at the end. Still kicking myself for being distracted/forgetting. But the weird thing is that the parts never made an obvious appearance on GB elsewhere later. "Loveoldguns" was the username of the winner, also a ghost on their forums...
