Was there a wait for what you purchased?
If you saved time, cool but you know if you ever want to sell it, having purchased it all NIB as a complete rifle will keep hold greater value then a 'build' ever will.

Sometime building it for the same price is a lot better then just buying something.

This way you already know it inside and out before you even pull the trigger.
