When we visited Palmetto State Armory, both Duncan and I built a rifle in the factory. We got one of those out to the range and got some quality time with the bargain-priced blaster.
I took on a pizza delivery job, 7 days a week, midnight until 5am when I was going to NC State. I initially took it on to raise money for a one-off Remington 12 gauge autoloader with a collapsing stock I had run across.
I had 18 credit hours worth of classes that semester, so I wasn't exactly slacking it, but I had to have that dern thing.
