[QUOTE="MudRunner2005, post: 1401894, member: 12995"] Cost for fire-forming can be VERY minimal, if you want it to be. You can do it the old school way, which is how I do it. Or, you can buy a hydroforming die and never spend an extra bullet, powder, primer, or barrel wear getting your cases 95% fire-formed with just a die, some water, and a hammer. As for resale value, that's only important to people who plan to resale their gun. Some of us recycle them (rebarrel) when we need a new tube, or want to try something else, instead of selling, and when we need something completely different, we shelve the old one in the safe for a later date, and go buy/build a new one. Buying firearms to recoup some of your money later on, is only going to happen when you start buying $10,000+ fancy custom one-off guns built by folks like Holland & Holland, Perazzi shotguns, Kreighoff, etc... Buying/building a custom rifle and then shooting it, the value is going to decrease nearly half. It's always a losing battle. So, people who try to use resale value as a justification, are only justifying their dreams and not reality. Your gun is only worth what someone else is willing to pay for it. And yes, in the end, it is the OP's decision whether to AI, or not. [/QUOTE]
