So, was thinking about selling a pistol I really don't need or want. S&W M&P40c 1.0. Basically like new. But, there's a catch...
I bought a S&W M&P40c with night sights a couple of years ago NIB for a great price. Then, I decided I wanted a manual safety, so I bought another one NIB with a manual safety and regular sights a few months later.
I decided I wanted both night sights and a safety on one gun, so I swapped slides and frames and my new carry gun was the frame with the safety with the slide with night sights. The other pistol now has a regular frame and regular sights and just sits and collects dust while I occasionally carry the other pistol. In fact, I carried it today while riding my UTV in the woods. It also has an upgraded APX sear and some polishing done to create a very nice 4 lb trigger.
Only the frame is serialized, so I would be selling the original frame with the proper serial number in the original box, only the box would say it came with night sights.
I don't think there would be an issue as long as I advertised that the pistol I'm selling does not have night sights, despite what the box says.
Just want to make sure that everything is legal and/or ethical before thinking about selling it.
