How much have you spent on your S12?


Recommended Posts

I was just adding up what I've spent on my S12, without even being able to touch it yet. I'm up to $785.56, not including the $535 for the S12 itself. Only one more thing to do, and that's sending the bolt group out to be polished/profiled and have the charging handle switched to the left side. It's safe to assume a grand total of $1,000 on parts and services. The biggies were the trigger conversion kit and the mags. (20rd/12rd drum and (3) 10rd mags.) How much have you guys spent aside from the cost of the gun?

 

Just realized I haven't even purchased any ammo yet. Oye!!

More than I had anticipated. I made the mistake of buying a "converted" model. After quite a bit of research here, I ended up stripping it down to the bare receiver and redoing everything (didn't have to move the trigger group forward again, but replaced it). I plan to buy another, but this time I'll start with a blank slate and do it myself.

The way I see it, is I know that if times get to the point where I HAVE to sell my S12, I'm confident that I can get what I put into it. It's an investment....yeah...that's my justification. Besides, I've got atleast that much wrapped into my AR15. They don't build themselves ya know.

As it is:

 

Tromix DIY trigger guard.............$45

Tromix TCG................................$45

SGM Tactical Recoil Pad............$19.95

Krebs Sights...............................$0 (won it)

PolyChoke II...............................$82.95

A can of Krylon...........................$4

Total = $216.90

 

I have a bunch of mags that aren't included. I'm also going to get it Parkerized soon. After that I may, or may not, duracoat or ceracoat it. I'm also going to get an Autoplug because I can't seem to remember to set it on "2" when I want to shoot bulk ammo until after the first mag.

 

 

Not bad for a one-of-a-kind custom that is 100% dependable.victory.gif

As much fun as I've had with it... Priceless!

I'm in for about $2K with everything including 5 MD Drums. I am working on a telescopic stock that will work with the drum.

That will run about $500 for a one off part. I may make a 10 piece proto run to spread the cost out and offer the others

for sale on here.

I figured I'd bring this question up because I was planning on building up my K5 blazer and started thinking about how much I've already put into my AR and S12. I figured the truck runs great already. Besides if the SHTF, it's the guns that will save my A** not the truck. Might as well prioritize.
