[QUOTE="MudRunner2005, post: 1373105, member: 12995"] These are the categories that I put rifles into based on the rifle's characteristics and level of work performed on the gun. Not all of these are what some might call "real" industry terms, this is just how I, personally, classify a rifle. 1) [B][U]Factory[/U][/B] - Untouched factory mass-produced action (Rem, Savage, Browning, etc...) and factory barrel that have never been separated before. Factory or aftermarket bolt-ons like triggers, bottom metal/DBM setups, and stocks don't really change the classification. 2) [B][U]Semi-Custom[/U][/B] - Blueprinted factory mass-produced action with hand-lapped & accurized factory barrel, or aftermarket barrel fitted & installed. You could also include special ordered factory custom shop rifles in this category as well. 3) [B][U]Production Custom[/U][/B] - Mass-produced rifle using all high-quality aftermarket or "custom" parts for every part of the gun, including the action, barrel, bottom metal/DBM, stock, trigger, etc... 4) [B][U]Custom[/U][/B] - A rifle built from parts you take to a gunsmith, and you dictate how you want every aspect of the gun built and in what caliber/cartridge.
