[QUOTE="Alex Wheeler, post: 1365185, member: 101859"] Very true, but I am assuming the op is probably not interested in actually gunsmithing but gun assembly which is what most "gunsmiths" today really are. Buy parts, open box, assemble. At most you may need to fit a barrel or do minor inlet work before bedding. The actual gunsmith you speak of is a dying breed. Not because no one wants to do it, but because you can't pay the bills fixing guns when walmart will sell you a new 700 for $350. I used to do general work like that, repair costs are usually more than what the rifle is worth. [/QUOTE]
