Keep that thought in mind....

I have read a bunch and copied many pics from here 'n thar so I feel relatively confident when starting to build a kit. I have built 1919s, ARs and other stuff and have nothing but thanks for the fine people who post their ideas and tips.

and SNIP, again
>BUT start out buying kits now, Those will be the hardest to find and most expensive part of building in the future.

555th must be clairvoyant, now with the DOJ screwing with us again over barrels now, there will be a definite shortage of complete kits. Get what you can.

>If you think you'll build three, buy six....tools will always be out there and there's always someone getting out of AK building and selling off some tools.
If you can afford it, put money in kits instead of in the bank. DPH is selling Grade C kits for 80 buck or so. Buy as many of them as you can afford. Once you build and blackerize them, they will look the same as others. And your finished kit is now like gold.

Now go back to the comment I made way above. Yes, there is a certain amount of satisfaction out of bending your own flat into the receiver. What was that about money in the bank - can you sell your home made kit without a serial ? If you build it from a 100% receiver, then you can sell it at any time and recoup your 'investment' when you "get tight for money".

And then some....

I'm not saying that you should go into business building kits into finished toys but you should consider keeping your options open.
