    Most cheap guns aren't that good. On the other hand, all you really need is one good shot.

    If you were to build only one probably not.
    Depends how many tools you need to purchase. But the more you make the more it would balance out.

    It will always be more expensive to make a single gun yourself provided a similar quality. Not to mention your fit and finish on your first one will be pretty low, and the cost of tools will really push you into it not being worth it.

    Maybe for common platforms with frick loads of aftermarket components, the work is just to assemble them or finish the last 20% of the work.
    If you want as cheap as possible, looking through used and broken ones of every places.

    depends on what you need it for
    if you want a gun that you can fire 1,000 times without permanent damage, then no.
    if you just want to put a single round into the former prime minister of japan, then probably yeah

      This right here. Assembling guns from parts kits can be pretty cheap, or require bare minimum of tools.
      Building your own, your gonna need thousands, if not ten's of thousands of dollars in tools.
      If you've already got those tools, and know how to use em, yeah building your own is cheap.

    As long as your not picky on your build and just want a build it can be a lot cheaper. Last I checked the "grab bag upper" I got was still available. just take your time and watch for sales on parts and it can save you a lot.

            No. Make and model, preferably with a link to this supposed "kit"

            Lots and lots of blackpowder kits out there and a Kentucky Long Rifle could be pretty damn accurate even by today's standards

    Depends, I put an ar together for under $250 which is significantly less than you'd pay for one. If you can source cheap parts, have the required tools and ability it tends to be.

    A shitty zip gun, yes. I have done so, materials+labor ~$60
    a multi-shot mechanically operated firearm capable of accuracy and reliability?
    no. I priced out a used CNC mill with this idea in mind and a decent Haas plant was $20k, plus I'd have had to get either shop space or refit my house to carry enough juice, not to mention zoning, and I wouldn't be able to produce or sell enough guns to recoup unless I quit my job

    No. for the most part, they cost more, The point of building guns is for the experience and insight on how firearms work
