Solid. I've toyed with building our next one… but like so many other things… it's not on top of the priority list. :laugh1:
Parts kits are the way to go! If you can make your own tubes you are speaking a foreign language to me haha! But you can get housings, lenses and hardware for them pretty cheap. You can cut the price in half just assembling your own. I was going to go that route because instructions are easy to come by and the parts are easily available. Even eBay has a good market for parts kits. From what I’ve heard from military friends they are durable like acog durable. They just work and keep working. Anything Trijicon eotech and amg make seems to be that way anyway. Joe proof! I got mine when I made good money working in Boston. I miss those days. The “ migrants” took our jobs. The whole stinking company. Now I’m poor! Poor me 😄 but yes premade parts to get you rolling are readily available.

and no joke if you go through a good distributor eBay is a solid source.

It's been a few years since I estimated the cost of a build, but at that time I could build NVD with high Figure of Merit II tube with about $500 saved.  If one was willing to accept a lower Figure of Merit (a few dead pixels) as much as $1500 would have been saved.
