Wolf 45 ACP Glock Brake $ 00.00
Thorsen FRS 15 Stock $127.50
Miscellaneous pins, springs and SHT Approx $ 25.00
FFL Transfer / Paper work $ 55.00
Clymer Go / No Go Gauge set $ 39.00
Grand figin total $1337.66
1.5 years collecting components for this assembly.
Prices include shipping / receiving parts.
This is not counting my labor de-burring, fitting and assembling components. I settled for a 1/16 twist barrel twist instead of having a custom barrel made. I didn’t want an additional expenditure.
I fired 50 rounds though the carbine to check for function and I am sending the Carbine out for Cerakote next week with some other components. Figure at least $150.00 to $250.00 additional cost for coating on top of all above - Another 1.5 – 2.5 hours cleaning returned parts, shimming / fitting the barrel and final assembly.
In my opinion way too much for a 40SW semi-auto Kalifornia 16” barreled carbine. Yah, I know 40SW but this is what I’m set up for. I have more in this than I do in other rifle caliber builds. I figure 1250 - 1300FPS with 155/165 Gr projectile after some load development. I assembled this carbine specifically for local 3Gun events. Hopefully I won’t be disappointed but I figured my original budget to be around $800.00 not including a Reflex or Red dot.
SO - What have ya got in yours?
