That build was many years ago and of course having an FFL helped with the price of the components, I don't think I have ever pay retail for anything related to guns. Just having a type 3 FFL (C&R) may save you some money.
Depending on the application, with today's gunpowders, the Schuemann barrel may not be needed.
Now I am building a high capacity (STI frame) in .45 as a conceal carry.
