That reminds me of Old J Curtis Earl, (remember those tantalizing machinegun ads in Boys Life, Popular Science, Popular Mechanics, etc.)?

He became famous for taking in guns on consignment, for valuation, for repair, etc. then stealing valuable internals from them. This was especially true of classic 1921 Colt Tommy guns, etc. whose internals were rare and hard to find.
