Well, I've made some scrap if that's what you mean.

Heh. No, I was just thinking you'd be better off if you weren't too
far into it yet as there's been some improvements since you bought
those older plans

It'd be worth your while
to peruse his forum as there's a few errors in th' plans (even newer
ones) that are discussed. Might save ya some time and scrap.

Excellent, thank you.

You're welcome. I spent way too much time droolin' over that site
yesterday... was that close to gettin' out Mr. Credit card.

I'm *really* leaning towards purchasing his Complete Materials
Package.

That, to be honest, is the biggest hurdle. Maybe after I buy the 1927A1
I'll save the eBay toy fund money for the materials package. How much
is it these days?

From his web page:

"Complete Materials Package

All raw materials necessary for building the RG-G Gatling gun are
included, with the exception of parts for the carriage and yoke mount.
All metals are high quality stock, with sizes selected as close to
finished dimensions as possible. The brass is good quality mill
finish, and the steel is cold finished with no scale or slag. Lengths
allow material for finish cuts to clean. No machine work has been
done. The package includes rifled barrel liners, ground firing pins,
all hardware (screws, nuts, bushings, springs, bearings, gears, etc.),
and an explanatory inventory list. With this package and our plans,
you're ready to start building!

Price: $719.00 USD

(Includes S&H within the continental US)"

Rather steep, but all things considered, it's still very reasonable,
to me anyway. YMMV. The deal maker may be those regulars who post in
th' forum (who've been there, done that) assistance, plus his personal
help, if needed.

The deal breaker may be legalities. Someone in here mentioned that
they're perfectly legal as long they come to your property as plans,
etc., and never, ever, leave it as a completed weapon. Guess I need
to check into that further. What if you sell your property?

Interesting delimna

Yes it is, and I'm pretty sure that getting to th' bottom of it will
cause an excedrin headache or two g.

Comes with all buildings and other improvements.
Oh, don't mind that little machine in the basement

A $10-20k machine according to my research, yikes!

Of course, if it's a gun enthusiast, then it becomes a selling point.

Therein lies another rub, woudn't that mean that you also sold th'
weapon... which is illegal to do?

I suspect the law says "Never leaves your possesion", i.e. take it with
you when you move residences.

That would be *way* too reasonable.

But officer, this RV is my home... argh, where's that excedrin?
