[QUOTE="Edd, post: 559258, member: 30592"] You can answer that better than anyone because you know your ability better than anyone else. Rifle builders use quality parts but it still takes time to do the work. In post #6, J E Custom said it takes 15-25 hours to to build a rifle. That's probably at a minimum of $65 per hour, do the math. How many hours will it take you and how much is your time worth. Also will the workmanship be as good regardless of how many hours you spend. Sometimes a person gets some satisfaction from doing something themselves even if the workmanship isn't as good. Generally, when it comes to skilled work such as this, you are better off letting someone else do what they do and you keep doing what you do to earn money to pay them. Did you watch NesikaChads video? You could get a night job at McDonalds and earn enough money to pay him to bed your action in less time than you could do a comparable job. [/QUOTE]
