A true “ghost gun” is very popular with criminals. Ghost guns are made in the Philippines and I believe Afghanistan. You can get a hand made M1911 from the Philippines that looks and shoots like the real deal, it has a real looking serial number too. These are smuggled into the USA in small quantities every year. There are thousand of them out there, in Mexico and USA. They are popular with criminals because without a finger print or DNA left on the weapon, they are completely untraceable. From what I have been told, you can purchase upgrades, lasers, new barrels, triggers etc.. and they fit just like on any Colt M1911. That is a Ghost Gun, not what the RATS and MSM call a ghost gun.
An 80% lower is not even a rifle, it is simply a block of metal. Unless you have the tools and skill to finish it, they make nice paperweights.
Sounds like they’re missing out. They should be selling repros for the legal market!
I’d pay $500 or more for a new, shootable M1896 Mauser ‘Broomhandle’ in 9mm or .45 ACP.
Assuming, of course they were allowed to export them and we were allowed to import them...
