Bill, sure lots of faked guns using parts, esp a blank armorers magazine, folks love those and I am sure thousands have turned mismatched luger magazines into matched guns....

Then there are broken parts from shooting, worn out parts from use and dropping and hundreds of thousands of parts in peoples gun trove, home shop, gunsmiths, and etc.

Guys who deal in parts many times will part out a gun for the parts, I have done it a few times, but unless you get a gun cheap enough, its not worth it (to part it out).

I and many other collectors buy parts on ebay, gunbroker, here on the forums, etc.
