I think I’ve already got a pretty good idea what it’s all about.

Mmmmmmmm...it's basically that. But a little more than that also. Some of this stuff is only available used so it becomes a scavenger hunt sometimes. Try finding a real Colt side sling mount..I paid $10 for a freaking split washer for the 3 prong on my retro build. Had to have it...some of that price was shipping but I didn't have anything else I needed. Or buying 3 sets of used handguards until you get the just right match of battleworn...etc etc...
Wait until Lazarus has to hunt his SEX sleeve for that MK12 upper...
