Default Reworks v/s Parts

My observations has been that major western European countries that reworked pistols usually did a good job... fitting renumbering proofing..etc.


Countries that were less sophisticated, did a poorer job. Some countries, like China, are very poor and never threw anything away that would shoot. Bores are often terrible, finish is poor, grips bad, etc. [look at the Mausers they exported?]


Parts guns are not really reworks but parts from various sources that were assembled without much regard to anything! Often, these were done here. The parts were available and why not?


Now, of course, the idiots selling them are trying to enhance the values with the usual BS stories.. The amazing thing [to me] is that some folks actually believe them!
