yep
FYI,
Masada Tactical had 6.5 Carcano PPU ammo $40/box 20
Expensive cause that is the ONLY place I"ve seen any in months.
I reload so I don't need it but just passing it along. PPU only makes the lower moving ammo periodically so don't count on stock levels changing much.

For what it's worth, started going to gun shows again this year, my primary ones of York, Gettysburg, sometimes Lebanon. I always look at the C & R guns and still see P-64s, CZ-82s, various Tokarevs, lousy looking Carcanos for $160, SKS's, Mosins, and others. The bigger shows often have a vendor who specializes in collectibles in great shape, at prices out of my range. I'm especially happy when I find the 13 rounds mags for the CZ-82
Point is, I still see all this stuff. Condition and prices may be all over the place but the guns are there. Not like 6-8 years ago but they can be found.

Ammo, definitely. But also spare parts and proprietary tools, especially for stuff that might be orphaned if new Federal laws force lower-volume or financially weak vendors out of business.

I stock up on ammo, hand load shoot the hell out some guns for a awhile then move on to the next set of what's fun for guns. Build, buy collect then get interested in something else.
I mostly try to keep it UK and North America outside of some Jap stuff every now and then again.
I sold off a lot of European stuff years ago just to streamline the process except for the ones I built into hunting rifles.
All the while picking up ammo, reloading etc to support the last thing I was in to at the time.

A worthy goal is to have a set of dies, some components, and a bullet mold for every caliber you shoot.
I think I'm OK for tools. The guns I own are very simple and came with whatever specialty tools are unique to them. I also bought a gunsmith torque screwdriver. I have a fair array of standard tools.
If I ever finish an AR, I'll need more specialized tools, I suppose.
I really don't have the space for reloading. I'll see if I can make space in the garage for that.

All the major retailers sell kits for building ARs, when I bought mine they weren’t bad in price. IMO I think you could probably get away with just the vise blocks and armored wrench.

You're welcome.
I run two of these using the HF knock-off workmates. Just know it's best to trash the skimpy soda-can cross-braces on the legs and replace them with heavier gauge aluminum welder's stock flats like you can get for cheap at the hardware store. One is set up with my metallic cartridge reloading stuff. The other has my Lee Load-All II on it for shotshells. They fold up and store in the closet in the workshop when I'm not actively loading.
