Its pricey, but then again its not. I crapped out several parts on my first rifle and almost quit the kit. With some of the tips she has in her book, and also emailed questions, I was able to salvage and reuse them, and you can't tell. Also messed up the inlet around the locks nose of a grade 7 pre-carve and she taught me how to fix it. My inletting was terrible, but the way she teaches, its like she shows you how to save your butt everytime you mess up and learn the tricks how to stop it. I figure all the tricks I've learned so far has saved me a couple hundred bucks. Makes it a bargain. Besides, when you think you don't need it anymore, you could always sell it. I got mine, then later the carving pattern book which is spectacular detail. I first got her heat treat book she made years ago when she had MBS. And she answers any question you got. She really likes teaching and helping.
