Does anybody have a clue on what the average mark up is on Hand Guns? I think most Rifles have a 25% average mark up.

I did it with a G19, didn't save a penny. You can get complete frames off gunbroker for as low as $165. Complete slide assemblies go for $350+, so you could potentially save a few dollars, depending on what Glocks go for in your area.

Build a 17L without matching #s here
On a RTF 17 or 22 frame. Markup isn't 25%. I can guarantee that. Closer to 13% for GLOCKs. Most of the AR-15s I sell are in the 10% markup range. Some may be slightly lower or higher depending how many we have. |

I am thankful for the help but that would mean the lower would have to sell for $ 65 ? |

I wouldn't think you would save any money trying to part together a glock as opposed to just buying a used one.
I built a new top end for my G35 from aftermarket parts. It was about $125 for the barrel, $200 for the bare slide and $100 for the slide parts. At the time I could have bought a used G17 for about $350 or $400. ETA: I sold the OEM slide and barrel recently for $350. |
