I always keep whatever spare parts I have until I sell the gun, then let the spare parts go with the gun when it is bought. That isn't the most thrifty way to do things, I suppose, but so what?

While I have never bought "doubles" just to swap around parts, it has crossed my mind, a time or two. The latest "multiple" purchase was a few months back, on a Gun Broker auction for 3, P220 frames in various states of completeness. One was to create a dedicated .22, with a conversion that had been on a SAO, that I ended installing a 5" Match style upper assembly, I had built earlier. I've got something like 7 complete uppers, plus a couple others that need rebuilding/refinishing. Most are for "quick" caliber conversions, and none are for sale!

That's why I started, and have maintained the thread in "Projects", listing many of the "Parts Kits" involving Sigs, available at auction, which without a frame, doesn't require a FFL. While some can be bargains, it all depends on the model involved.

No, but I do have a mountain of replacement parts I've bought for various
guns (barrels, slides, stocks, optics, etc). Not exactly sure what to do with
it all. I usually look at it, shake my head and walk away.

Yes. I can sell the parts on eBay or Auction Arms, or here on SigTalk. I can make another gun, and sell that if I don't have any interest in that one.

I am currently working on two projects like this, and have a third project planned for next year.

Always keep the spare parts. I used to sell em off and it always kicked me in the ***

Of course, if we wanted t9 be thrifty we wouldn’t have a bunch of guns. Go for it.

A slide or frame laying around always ends up finding the other half and then you have a Frankenstein gun
