seen some on a website somewhere and they were only that much. is that because you probably have to spend fifteen thousand on a receiver? florida gun works was the site i think... thoughts?

Run, don't walk, away. Run a search on Florida Gun Works. Everyone's experience has been almost universally negative.

PD's can buy brand new MP5's for $1200. I can't see more than $100 in labor cutting it into a parts kit.

FGW has a very bad reputation and they changed names to another company (can't remember off the top of my head).

Yup

You see dealers cut up their post sample guns all the time and sell the parts for 500% profit.
