RE: Completely New to ML - Thinking About Buying Kit
Well,
If you are doing it to have fun, then buy a kit.
But, if you are doing it to save money, I would just buy the gun. Usually (not always), the difference between kits and completed guns isn't that much (I have seen around $20 at times in the Cabela's book) especially if you are thinking about paying someone to blue the barrel for you.
Good luck
Hank
