Between the two, I'd pick up the M1S.  However that's not saying much.  There are better companies to deal with out there.  
Just my $0.02

blackthornes part generally are way out of spec. probably one of the reasons you don't see them advertised on this forum at all. i would stay away at all costs. model 1 have ok kits. i think you will wait a while for shipping though.  

m&a have decent kits and so does delton. but you will by no means have a "hard use" rifle. but they make good range guns. if you want fast shipping, m&a is the way to go. ordering from delton means a wait of many months. rguns has kits, though i know nothing about there quality or ship times.

good luck!

I would completely stay away from Blackthorn anything! Model 1 sales is iffy at times. Don't waste your money.

There are way better companies to deal with IMHO. J&T, Del-Ton and M&A come to mind as far as reasonable priced quality kits go.

With weapons you get what you pay for. Is your life worth the $100 or less you might save buying a lower quality kit?

No reason to choose either especially since Del-ton has everything 10% off today.  Kits are $400!!!

Which kit is only $400.00?

Is there anyone here who has used Del-Ton?
I am completely clueless and afraid to spend $ on anything without
knowing if it's good...been burned in many other areas.

I should've been a gunsmith when I was in the Marines...

I have built numerous Del-tons and some M&As.

Both are good to go.
