What is the point here? Having a gun with no serial #s?

I think that must be part of the appeal. Owning a gun that is not on any government list. With the millions upon millions of had guns in this country that are not registered at all, it can't be that hard to find one, but what the heck do I know about it.
I can also see the fun of building a precision machine that becomes a functional gun. I always wonder, what happens when the cops come across a gun with no serial numbers. I am sure they come across old guns that were never registered to anyone. All those guns would show is what store sold it somewhere in the USA.
One of my friends has a collection of guns that his granddad started, his dad added to, and now he has added to it. He has one pristine 1911 from an early production run that his grandfather bought new in the box and put in storage. It is over 100 years old and likely worth a lot. I admit, I lusted after it but it is more likely I would sell my 1985 911 than he sell that 1911.
