[QUOTE="Mike6158, post: 323018, member: 1039"] 1) The first answer about says it all for me. If I'm reading between the lines correctly, a 1k rifle cannot be built from "parts". There will be machine shop work involved ,even if it is not a competition rifle. As much as I would love to learn the craft I don't think that I'll be taking that on right now 2) I was kind of alluding to the fact that I put my AR's together and overall I thought it was (A) cool the first time (B) not "real" rifle building. Building a rifle is a simple task if all you have to do is build the lower, attach an already machined Shilen barrel, and add a few little odds and ends to accomplish the task. In other words... AR's aren't hard to build because the hard part is already done for you (machine work). How does that compare to assembling (might be a better word for it) a 1k non-competitive target / hunting rifle. I don't see myself shooting competitively. I would like to know why you don't like H/S stocks. I have no reason to like or dislike them simply because I've never used one. Why not .308 btw... there was a time when the .308 was the caliber of choice. Now it's never even mentioned. [/QUOTE]
