I talked to the neighbor, and apparently the previous family got into drugs and fell apart. Parents separated, kids in foster care, the dad is gone and the mom is all but homeless. My wife used to work for CPS so we should at least be able to find the kids and see if they are interested. Pretty sad....

I am looking into that, but to complete a kit you have to purchase a receiver which requires an FFL, or purchase an unfinished receiver which has to be bent and than heat treated at 1600 degrees which might be a problem.
