I did not realize it either until one night I stumbled across a listing for a parts kit for a gun I was looking at, then I pretty much fell down the rabbit hole and found several people listing the kits.
There might be more, but I have not looked.
I am guessing these kits come from guns that are confiscated by police or turned in for destruction, or gotten from "buybacks".
You can get some pretty good deals as long as you do not get in a bidding war with someone. Chances are you will not, but it is a chance.
I saw one kit sell for almost what the whole gun would have sold for.
Another place is every gun part. They seem to be higher priced though. Sadly they used to be pretty reasonable on their prices and I bought 2-3 kits from them.
They have somewhat recently jacked their prices up and I have not bought from them since.
