I can't remember exactly how long mine took now, but seems like it was about 3 or 4 weeks. To be honest if a person had the woodworking tools/equipment and the knowledge/skills it could be made pretty cheaply I'm sure. It is very useful though. I use it to load up AK and AR mags prior to going to the range, really is a time saver when at the range and don't have to bother with loading, that is unless I shoot up all I've loaded, lol.
I paid just over 80 dollars after shipping and such. They have a 5.5 model now and three finishes, base model is still 69 dollars, which is what I paid for this one.
