[QUOTE="ttaillac, post: 453890, member: 17568"] [COLOR=black][FONT=Verdana]Sorry if this is just really dumb, but I'm not clear on what all is exactly involved when someone says they are building a rifle. Are they really talking about taking each and every component (from different manufacturers presumably) and putting them together for something that goes boom? Or is actually involving the machining of certain parts? Am I naïve enough to believe that there is no way that I could make something better than a reputable rifle company that has been doing it for years? I guess so, because from what I’ve learned so far on this forum is that if you want to go far, you have to go custom and that goes for the ammo as well.
