I have loved the kits SIG has produced over the past few decades and they , by far, provide the best overall kit product for the price... I have built over 15 kits of theirs (some duplicates) and I think in these economically hard-times, those of us who know the quality of the kits (I have no info on the ARF's) should support them on these forums. I have several boxed Sig kits under the workbench and to show my thanks, I may purchase a few more of my favorites, regardless of the back-order time, just to support a great kit manufacturer.
