I say buy all the parts, put them in a box and give it to him. Then tell him if he wants to build it he can and if not you will do it for him.

Give him the parts on his b-day but build it together. Or do some aspect of the build together with him.
It was so long ago but I remember building various cars and having my dad help me with stuff. |

I'd get his help building it before his birthday, and on his birthday surprise him with it. (obviously he would not know it is his gift when building it together) Maybe have him help you choose parts for it because your having a tough time deciding. (Him thinking this is something your building for yourself; that'll make the birthday surprise all the better)

I say go for it. Make that memory and enjoy.
My dad is a jerk and I don't really have anything in common with him, he asks about the weather when he calls. I won't be that way with my child, no way no how.

Give him a few Pmags and a few hundred rounds of ammo too. Best. Gift. Eva. |

I built my dads for his bday, finally got to shoot it this past weekend cuz we couldn't get out to the range, he absolutely loves it. It scares him that my knowledge of gun parts building and functions have surpassed his many years of handling firearms from Vietnam special forces through LEO of 30 years. So he kinda let me just run with it, but I'm sure if he gets a .308 like he wants ill help HIM build it

Something came up and I won't have the funds to do the build for like another month. And that would put the gift past his birthday. Should I still do it and just tell him the present is on the way or something?

I say do it. He'll completely understand what the wait was for once he gets to see it for the first time.

Tell him you wanted to custom build to his specs. Don't have to mention anything about it being a month late... |
