A while back I heard a claim that someone in a fairly local manufacturer, an employee, spirited away a number of receivers, blems that had been finished but not serialized, and were supposed to be scrapped.
I've been told that they all made their way out into the wild and were used in various builds, and some were serialized by the purchaser whom is claiming it as a home build.
I haven't seen one in person, but as active as I am in the local culture, I probably will if they exist.
What to do? Other than avoid it like the plague? If someone unwittingly buys a gun built on this, what's the ramification? For that matter, since nothing is serialized, can it even be proven?
I just want to be able to advise people when this subject comes up, and I know it will. I won't touch one, that's for damn sure. Sounds like WAY more potential heat than I need/want/can deal with.
