@Jiggly  I fogot to mention some other reasons:

1. The novelty of having a gun with no serial is neat (since most people think its impossible)

Spoiler:

2. A lot of the 80% frames actually come stock with 90% of the aftermarket cuts that people like. The above glock 43 80% clone for instance has really aggressive grips, an undercut trigger, and a ledge for my support hand. These all make the extremely tiny gun this is just as controllable as a full size handgun.

Note: you do pay a premium for this kind of thing though. A factory G43 might cost around $450, you'd spend about $600 building one identical to mine.

So am I understanding this right - 1) it's legal access to something you may not be legally allowed to access via other means, 2) because "fuck the government", 3) it's fun and you can make what you want, and 4) because you can.

Perfectly acceptable reasons!

It wouldn't be something I'd do myself, but it is interesting - Not dissimilar to how someone building a car or a bike is interesting.
