My BA has set me back almost 2k.

I havent even put nearly as much into my BA as some of the more serious BA Users.

From my experience, you are going to have to double your investment, just to get a decent stock platform. The upgrades and such can go from there.

Bottom line is, buying a crappy base (such as a well, or other cheap clone brand) wont help you. The tolerances are all over the place, and you will have performance issues with your gun, even if you gut it and replace it with aftermarket internals.

Save for a solid platform and build from there.
