Well, not exactly. I'm a knifemaker, chainmail maker, jeweler, sculptor, sorta-welder, blacksmith, 'gunsmith' ... oh yeah, at one time I was a Materials engineer (now retired).
Non-hunter ... for now. I got into building Rifles and Pistols because ... well because I like building things. I recently finished up a 6.5 Creedmoor and .308 both based on AR10 platforms but have only put a few rounds through each. Yes, I know that is not an ideal platform for long range...
